    Question 6

    Linear equations · Medium

    A gym charges $25 to join and $15 a month. Which equation gives the total cost c, in dollars, after m months?

    • Ac = 25m + 15
    • Bc = 15m + 25

    Practice the skills that need work

    Your teen can focus on weaker skills instead of repeating material they already know.

    Question 6 · Step by step

    1. 1The $25 joining fee is paid once, so it's the constant.
    2. 2The $15 is paid every month, so it's multiplied by m.
    3. 3Put them together: c = 15m + 25, which is choice B.

    An AI tutor explains the steps and answers follow-up questions. Missed questions stay in a mistake log for review.
