Can someone help me with linear relationships ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@atreyu6s3x6 For gym A you will pay $100 for 3 months and $160 for 5 months for gym B you will pay based on the equation y=$20+25m, where y is the total cost, and m is the number of months you pay for. Part A: Which gym charges a higher set fee ? Part B: Which gym chargers a higher rate per month ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.. so for the first gym.. we pay 100 dollars for 3 months and 160 for 5 months and we need to find which gym has a higher fee so.. to find that we use the equation to find the total for the second gym

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Well you know that $100 is required for 3 months and we have an equation for gym B and m is per month so to see which charges higher we can input 3 where m is and see which one charges more for 3 months.... \(\large{y~=~$20~+~25(3)}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y=$20+25m where y is the total and m is the months.. so we need to find out how much the gym charges for 3 months..(m=3) so we plug in 3 months for m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I solved and I got $95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Correct ^^ So which is more gym A or gym B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um..... gym A

563blackghost (563blackghost):

\(\Large{Correct!~:)~Great~Job!}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did we just solve for Part B ?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

I believe so..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part A asks which gym charges a higher set free

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@atreyu6s3x6 can you help me with part A ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dang she jus left you haha welll then shall we finish this? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what does it mean by set fee? do you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure if I'm right but I'm guessing it means the amount of money you'll have to pay in order to go to the gym @atreyu6s3x6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm maybe the flat rate? i'm actually a little unsure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ghost, do you know?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

sorry my internet is horrible...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no we got B.. we're trying to figure out what they mean by set fee for A

563blackghost (563blackghost):

oops...i read it backwards...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem, but yea, that's where we're stuck

563blackghost (563blackghost):

one sec let me look at some examples....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think we're making this a little more complicated than it has to be haha give me a sec?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah :)

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Sorry I dont really know...

OpenStudy (anonymous):
