Answer:
a. 1965
b. 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
For answers to questions like these it can work to consider the smallest possible dataset.
<h3>Dataset</h3>
For our purpose, consider the 9 years/values to be averaged to be ...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9
<h3>Observations</h3>
a. The center value of the data set is 5. Its number is 5-1=4 more than the first one.
The first centered value is from the year 1961 +4 = 1965.
b. The 4 values at the beginning, and the 4 values at the end do not have a corresponding "average" value. That is, 4+4 = 8 values in the series are lost with respect to the number of average values.
8 years of values are lost.

Answer:
$6,120
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 (one-fifth) of the family's annual income ($30,600) is spent on housing- as the word problem states.
You have to find 1/5 (one-fifth) of* $30,600.
Write it out as an equation.
*The <em>of</em><em> </em>in the word equation (1/5 of 30600) simply means multiplication.
These are linear equations that can be solved simultaneously;
5m+3n=41
3m-6n=9 (multiplying the first equation by 3 and the second by 5)
15m+9n=123
15m-30n= 45 (subtracting the two equations)
39n = 78
n = 2,
and for m, 3m = 9+6(2)
= 21
m = 7
Therefore, n=2 and m=7
