Answer:

Rewrite the first equation as x = 36 – 3y.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 36 (1)

4x + 5y = 9 (2)

Using substitution method

From (1)

x = 36 - 3y

Substitute x = 36 - 3y into (2)

4x + 5y = 9

4(36 - 3y) + 5y = 9

144 - 12y + 5y = 9

- 12y + 5y = 9 - 144

-7y = -135

y = -135 / -7

y = 19.3

There is an error with the second equation, 4x + 5y can not be equal to 9

Nevertheless, the first step when solving by substitution is:

Rewrite the first equation as

x = 36 – 3y.

Last month, the daily balance in Joana's credit card account was $1,000 for 9 days, $750 for 10 days, $850 for 4 days, and $900
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

<em />Average = \$873<em />

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$1000 for 9 days

$750 for 10 days

$850 for 4 days

$900 for other days

Required

Compute the daily average

First, we need to compute the number of days her balance is $900

Assuming the billing cycle is 30 days;

Number\ of\ days = 30 - (9 + 10 + 4)

Number\ of\ days = 30 - 23

Number\ of\ days = 7

The Average is then calculates using:

Average = \frac{\sum fx}{x}

Average = \frac{1000 * 9 + 750 * 10 + 850 * 4 + 900 * 7}{9 + 10 + 4+ 7}

Average = \frac{26200}{30}

Average = 873.333333333

<em />Average = \$873<em> --- Approximated</em>
