Answer: Tim has he been a member at 24 Hour Fitness for 4 months.

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours for which Tim has been a member at 24 Hour Fitness.

24 Hour Fitness charges $55 for a sign-up fee plus $30 per month to join their gym. This means that the total amount that 24 Hour Fitness charges for x months would be
