A new one-year membership at RecPlex costs $160. A registration fee of $28 is paid up front, and the rest is paid monthly. How much do new members pay each month? Write an equation for this..

The first month new members have to pay 188 dollars for the membership.

The equation is 160x+28=y

x stands for the number of months and y stands for the total cost.

For the first month (membership starts) the total cost is 188$. For the second month the total money paid would be 348$. For the third month the total money paid would be 508$. And so on you can use the equation to solve for more months. Just substitute x for the number of months you are solving for.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
