Problema Solution

A person can pay $5 for a membership to the art museum and then go to the museum for just $1 per visit. For a member of the art museum, what is the total cost of 4 visits? Write and solve an equation to find the answer.

The initial cost is $5 for the membership and then each visit is $1. 

The cost could be expressed algebraically as "y=5+1x", where 'x' is the number of visits and 'y' is the total cost. 

For 4 visits:

y=5+1*4

y=9

So the total cost for 4 visits would be $9.
