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.
Let x represent the number of months.
The cost of joining the gym is $25.
The cost of the gym membership for each month is $14.
The cost of the gym membership for 6 months can be expressed as:
25 + 14x
Substituting x = 6:
25 + 14(6) = 25 + 84 = $109
Therefore, the cost of the gym membership for 6 months is $109.
To find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months, you can use the algebraic expression:
Cost = Joining fee + Monthly fee x Number of months
In this case, the joining fee is $25 and the monthly fee is $14. The number of months is 6.
Plugging these values into the expression, we have:
Cost = $25 + $14 x 6
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Cost = $25 + $84
Finally, adding the two amounts together, we find that the cost of the gym membership for 6 months is:
Cost = $109.
