Joe is starting a new company where he is going to sell paintings. It is going to cost him 200$ to rent a space in an office complex each month and each painting costs him 8$ in supplies. Write an equation that models the cost of making the paintings where x represents the number of paintings.

If x is the number of paintings the $8*x or 8x will be the cost of paintings plus his monthly rent.

We are assuming that this is a monthly cost. If that is the case, then his total monthly cost will be:

(8x) + $200.00=Total monthly cost.
