Tony's Mom gives him a weekly allowance. Due to his bad behavior, his allowance has been shrinking at a rate of 2 3/10 dollars every 3 1/2 days. Set up an equation to find the average rate at which his weekly allowance has been decreased each day. Be sure to simplify your answer.

-3 2/7 per day

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 3/10 then put that all over 3 1/2

-23/10 divided by 7/2

-23/10 *21/7 = -23/7= -3 2/7 per day

the 10 cross out and make a 5

i should be right

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
