A lending library has fixed charge for the first three days and an additional charge for each day thereafter. John paid 27 for a book kept for 7 days. If the fixed charges be x and subsequent per day charges be y, then write the linear equation representing the above information and draw the graph of the same. From the graph, if the per day charge is 4, find the fixed charge.

Important Questions on Linear Equations in Two Variables
