Let's denote the total cost of the gym membership by the variable C.
The cost to join is $25, and since this is a one-time payment, it does not depend on the number of months. Therefore, we can simply add this amount to the total cost: C = 25 + ...
The cost each month is $14, and this expense occurs for every month after joining. The number of months can be represented by the variable m. Therefore, we need to multiply the monthly cost by the number of months joined: ... + 14m
Putting it all together, the algebraic expression for the cost of the gym membership is C = 25 + 14m.
A gym membership costs 25 to join and 14 each month write and use algebraic expression to find the cost of the gym membership
