Answer:
- registration fee: $50
- monthly fee: $80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r and m represent the registration fee and the monthly fee, respectively. We are told that the charges are ...
370 = r + 4m
530 = r + 6m
This is your system of equations.
__
Subtract the first equation from the second to start the solution.
(530) -(370) = (r +6m) -(r +4m)
160 = 2m . . . . . . simplify
80 = m . . . . . . . . divide by 2
Using this value in the first equation, we find ...
370 = r + 4(80)
50 = r . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 320
The registration fee is $50; the monthly fee is $80.
