A gym membership costs $50 to join a club and then $15 per month. Which equation below represents the equation for the total cost of the gym membership and the number of months?

Start with $50, this is the entry free, along with the question being the "total cost of the gym membership." Therefore any equation that puts a negative in front of 50 is incorrect.

a) y = 15x - 50 is crossed out

Now look at $15 per month, this is the amount that is paid per time and can be increased through a variable. Therefore any equation that does not put 15x is incorrect.

c) y = 50x + 15 and b) y = 65mx is crossed out

Leaving us with d) y = 15x + 50
