2) A gym charges a $30 membership fee and $10 per month. Write an equation to represent this situation. Find the cost for 5 months. If a new
member paid $160, how many months did they go to the gym?

C = 10m + 30, where C is total cost and m is # of months

C = 10(5) + 30

C = 50 + 30

C = $80

$160 = 10m + 30

160 - 30 = 10m

130/10 = m

m = 13 months
