1 answer

To find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months, we can use the algebraic expression:

Cost = join fee + (monthly fee * number of months)

Substituting the given values:
Cost = $25 + ($14 * 6)

Simplifying the expression:
Cost = $25 + $84
Cost = $109

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