Heyo. Let's go ahead and set this problem up
It should look like this
12x + 125 = 725
The variables can be another letter, doesn't matter.
12 will stand for the months in a year
x is the amount paid per month
125 is the registration free
725 is the one year membership total
Subtract both sides by 125 to get:
12x = 600
Divide both sides by 12 to get:
x=50
That being said, each month, a new member will pay $50.
Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60
Answer:
y = 7x / 9
