While preparing his budget sheet richard smith noticed that his annual expenses were 18800 while his monthly living expenses were 400 more than his monthly fixed expenses if richard total monthly expenses were 4350 find his monthly fixed expenses and his monthly living expenses

Monthly Living Expense = 2375

Monthly Fixed Expense = 1975

Step-by-step explanation:

Let monthly living expense be "x"

and monthly fixed expense be "y"

"monthly living expenses were 400 more than his monthly fixed expenses":

x = 400 + y

"Richard total monthly expenses were 4350":

x + y = 4350

Putting Equation 1 in Equation 2:

(400 + y) + y = 4350

400 + 2y = 4350

2y = 3950

y = 1975

Now, x = 400 + y = 400 + 1975 = 2375

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

may i see the picture? it would a lot, xox
