A gym membership costs $25 to join and $14 each month. Write and use an algebraic expression to find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months.
y= 14x+25
84 for 6 months + the 25 fee is 109
To find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months, we can use the formula C = J + M*N, where C represents the total cost of the membership, J represents the cost to join, M represents the monthly cost, and N represents the number of months.
In this case, J = $25 to join and M = $14 per month. We want to find the cost for 6 months, so N = 6.
Substituting these values into the formula, we have C = $25 + $14 * 6.
To find the solution, we can evaluate the expression:
C = $25 + $14 * 6
C = $25 + $84
C = $109.
Therefore, the cost of the gym membership for 6 months is $109.
