it is said that 5 dollars is to pay if you are already a member, but being a member you need 15 dollars annually..  and you will pay 8 dollars if you are not a member. .the question is to find the cost to pay given according to the movies viewed. .

x=number of movies viewed
y=cost to pay per movie viewed.
n=annual membership for(conditional)

5x=y +n (where n appear once a year)
8x+y
