Answer:

9 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

One time fee= $140

Monthly fee= $40

Total amount of check = $500

The expression that describes the situation is given as

y=mx+c

where y= the total amount of the check

m= the monthly fee

x= the number of months

c= the one time fee

Substitute

500=40x+140

500-140=40x

360=40x

x= 360/40

x=9

Hence the number of months is 9 months
