Please help! Will award medal! A fitness center has set a goal to have 500 members. The fitness center already has 150 members and adds an average of 25 members per month,. The function f(x)=25x+150 represents the membership after x months. Graph the function to determine the number of months it will take for the fitness center to reach its membership goal.

Answer 1

think like a programmer, with algebra as your language

define your terms

goal = 500

membership = 150 + 25*month

Find month for membership to equal goal.

membership = goal

150 + 25*month = 500

Answer 2

so uhm... thanks?

Answer 3

150 + 25*month = 500

25*month = 350

month = 350/25

month = 14
