You and your friend join a new gym that requires a one-time joining fee and monthly payments. Your friend chooses the 1 year plan and pays $687, while you elect the 18 month contract which costs $981. Use this information to determine the linear model used to calculate cost from months of membership.

C = 99 + 49m

x = $99

y = $49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = one time joining fee

y = monthly payment

Your friend:

1 year = 12 months

x + 12y = $687

You:

x + 18y = $981

x + 12y = 687 (1)

x + 18y = 981 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

18y - 12y = 981 - 687

6y = 294

Divide both sides by 6

y = 294 /6

= 49

x = $49

Substitute y = 49 into

x + 12y = 687

x + 12(49) = 687

x + 588 = 687

x = 687 - 588

= 99

x = $99

C = 99 + 49m

Where,

C = total charges

m = number of months

99 = a one time joining fee

49 = charges per month
