Your gym membership costs $33 per monthafter an initial membership fee. you paid a total of $228 after 6 months

1. let x be the number of months paid. 2. let 33x be the dollar value of the cost paid after x months (no initial fee yet) 3. let 33*5=165 be the cost paid on monthly basis for 5 months. But the total cost is $225 dollers after 5 months. the implies that the membership fee is 225 - 165=dollers. 4. let TC be the total cost. 5. then the total cost TC=33x+60. 6. after 10 months, total cost TC = 33*10+60=330+60=390dollers.
