ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 9 -1 Solving Systems by Graphing Suppose you plan to start taking an aerobics class. Nonmembers pay $4 per class while members pay $10 a month plus an additional $2 per class. After how many classes will the cost be the same? What is that cost? Define: Let c = number of classes. Let T(c) = total cost of the classes. Relate: cost is membership fee plus Write: member T(c) = 10 + 2 c = 0 + 4 c non-member T(c) 9 -1 cost of classes attended
