a system of equations is shown below 7x + 3y= 22. 3x - 3y =18 what is the solution to the system of equations​

4,-2

distribute and combine like terms

(4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+3y= 22

3x-3y= 18

Add them in vertical columns. 7x + 3x = 10x. The 3y and the -3y cancel each other out. 22+ 18 = 40.

You're left with 10x = 40. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 10

x = 4

Plug in 4 into any of the original equations and solve for y.

7(4) + 3y =22.

28 + 3y =22

Subtract 28 on both sides

You're let with 3y = -6. Solve for y by dividing both sides by 3

y= -2

Put it together in coordinate point form. (4, -2)

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

the answer is (-4,-4)

hope this ! : d
