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.

Answer 1

To find the total cost of a gym membership for 6 months, we need to consider the cost to join the gym and the monthly cost for 6 months.

The cost to join the gym is $25.

The monthly cost is $14.

To find the total cost for 6 months, we need to multiply the monthly cost by the number of months and add the cost to join:

Total cost for 6 months = $25 + ($14 * 6)

= $25 + $84

= $109

So, the cost of the gym membership for 6 months is $109.
