19. Leslie decides to join a gym. She must pay a monthly fee plus a one-time fee to open a membership. This situation can be modeled by the expression 5x + 80. Explain in your own words how each number and letter in the expression relates to the problem.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

x is the monthly fee. 5x is the cost for 5 months of membership. 80 is the cost to open the membership. So the equation gives the total cost for Leslie to be a member for 5 months.
