4x + 5y = 22
7x - 3y = -32

x = -2

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

i multiplied the 1st equation by 3 and the 2nd by 5 to get the y-terms to zero out

   12x + 15y = 66

+  35x - 15y = -160

   47x = -94

x = -94/47

x = -2

substitute -2 for 'x' to solve for 'y':

4(-2) + 5y = 22

-8 + 5y = 22

5y = 30

y = 6

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
