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.
since it costs $14 each month, then it will cost $14m after m months, right?
so, add that to the initial sign-up fee, and what do you get?

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.
To find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months, we can set up an algebraic expression.
Let's denote the total cost of the gym membership for 6 months as "C".
The cost to join the gym is $25, and then there is a monthly fee of $14.
So, for 6 months, the monthly fee will be repeated 6 times.
Therefore, the algebraic expression for the cost of the gym membership for 6 months (C) can be written as:
C = $25 (cost to join) + 6 x ($14 monthly fee)
Now, let's substitute the values into the expression:
C = $25 + 6 x $14
Now we can simplify:
C = $25 + $84
C = $109
Therefore, the cost of the gym membership for 6 months is $109.
