John's membership in the gym and Madison's party are illustrations of linear equations.

1. John's equation

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{Base = 75}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Monthly = 30}[/tex]

The monthly expression is:

[tex]\mathbf{f(m) = Base + Monthly \times m}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f(m) = 75+ 30 \times m}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(m) = 75+ 30m}[/tex]

For 6 months, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f(6) = 75+ 30 \times 6}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(6) = 255}[/tex]

Hence, the expression that represents the situation is [tex]\mathbf{f(m) = 75+ 30m}[/tex], and the amount for 6 months of membership is $255

2. Madison's party

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{Cake = 18.50}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Balloon = 20}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Total = 63.50}[/tex]

Let n represent the cost of each balloon.

So, the equation is:

[tex]\mathbf{Cake + Balloon \times n = Total}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]\mathbf{18.50 + 20 \times n = 63.50}[/tex]

Subtract 18.50 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{ 20 \times n = 45}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 20

[tex]\mathbf{ n = 2.25}[/tex]

Hence, the expression that represents the situation is [tex]\mathbf{18.50 + 20 \times n = 63.50}[/tex], and the cost of each balloon is $2.25
