Anna wants to take fitness classes. she compares two gyms to determine which would be the best deal for her. fit fast charges a set fee per class. stepping up charges a monthly fee, plus an additional fee per class. the system of equations models the total costs for each.
y = 7.5x
y = 5.5x + 10
1. substitute: 7.5x = 5.5x + 10
how many classes could anna take so that the total cost for the month would be the same?
what is the total monthly cost when it is the same for both gyms?

Have you ever been in the middle of telling a story and had to use hand gestures or even a drawing to make your point? in algebra, if we want to illustrate or visualize a key feature of a function, sometimes we have to write the function in a different form—such as a table, graph, or equation—to determine the specific key feature we’re looking for. think about interactions with others and situations you’ve come across in your own life. how have you had to adjust or change the way you represented something based on either the concept you were trying to describe or the person you were interacting with? explain how the complexity or layout of the concept required you to change your style or presentation, or how the person’s unique learning style affected the way you presented the information.
