3x - y = 0 . . . (1)
5x + 2y = 22 . . . (2)
From (1), y = 3x . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (2) gives:
5x + 2(3x) = 22
5x + 6x = 22
11x = 22
x = 2
From (3), y = 3(11) = 33
x = 11, y = 33.

Answer:
3 < b-a < 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum difference will occur when the smallest 'a' value is subtracted from the largest 'b' value:
9 -2 = 7
The minimum difference will occur when the largest 'a' value is subtracted from the smallest 'b' value:
7 -4 = 3
So, the possible range of values of b-a is ...
3 < b-a < 7
