A dance studio charges an application fee of $75 and $50 per month for membership. This is represented by the linear equation C = 50x + 75, where C represents the cost and x represents the number of months. They are running a "no application fee" special during the month of January. How should the linear equation be changed to represent the new price?
As per the linear equation:
C = 50x + 75
75 -> represents application fee
x -> the number of months
C -> Total cost
Now, no application fee means '0'
So the equation becomes,
C = 50x + 0 which can be simplified to
C = 50x
Answer: C = 50x
