3. Solve the system of equations without graphing. Show your reasoning. ſ 2y = x - 4
4x + 3y = 5

X=2, y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2y=x-4 equation 1

4x+3y=5 equation 2

x=2y+4 isolate x in equation 1

4(2y+4)+3y=5 substitute value of x from equation 1 into equation 2

8y+16+3y=5

11y=-11

y=-1

solve for x by inputting y value into either equation

2y=x-4

2(-1)=x-4

-2=x-4

2=x

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.

yes
