Question

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 . Explain in your own words how each number and letter in the expression relates to the problem

Answer 1

monthly fee = m
one time fee = y
x = total price

x = y + m

Answer 2

did you explain it??

Answer 3

I think it would help if I used different variables:

First, we will define our variables:
m is monthly fee
x is number of months
b is the one time fee
y is total price

Thus,
y = mx + b

And what we've done is taken monthly price times the number of months. Then you have to add the one time fee.

Answer 4

can you add the one month fee?

Answer 5

I did. The one time fee is b.

Answer 6

okay so does thus stand for thursday?

Answer 7

"Thus" means "it follows" or "putting this together you get"
