Answer:
The solution to the system of equations (x, y) = (2, 4) represents the month in which exports and imports were equal. Both were 4 in February.
Step-by-step explanation:
We're not sure what "system of equations" is being referenced here, since no equations are shown or described.
__
Perhaps your "system of equations" is ...
f(x) = some equation
g(x) = some other equation
Then the solution to this system of equation is the pair of values (x, y) that gives ...
y = f(x) = g(x)
If x represents the month number, then the solution can be read from the table:
(x, y) = (2, 4)
This is the month in which exports and imports were equal. Both numbers were 4 in February.

Answer:
a couple of irrational numbers: -16±4√19, approximately {1.436, -33.436}
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question can be cast as the quadratic equation
x² +32x -48 = 0
The solutions can be found using the quadratic formula:
x = (-32 ±√(32² -4(1)(-48)))/(2(1)) = -16±√304 = -16±4√19

<em>Comment on the equation we used</em>
We notice that when p and q are roots, the equation can be written ...
(x -p)(x -q) = 0 = x² -(p+q)x +pq
You want p+q = -32, pq = -48, so the equation is ...
x² -(-32)x +(-48) = 0
x² +32x -48 = 0 . . . . . . with parentheses eliminated
