Answer:

-56

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept [tex]\Rightarrow y=0[/tex]

y-intrcept [tex]\Rightarrow x=0[/tex]

Substitute x=0 and y=0 into the line equation:

[tex]4\cdot 0+7y+c=0\Rightarrow 7y+c=0,\ \\7y=-c\\\\y=-\dfrac{c}{7}[/tex]

and

[tex]4x+7\cdot 0+c=0\Rightarrow 4x+c=0,\ \\4x=-c\\\\x=-\dfrac{c}{4}[/tex]

The sum of x- and y- intercepts is 22, so

[tex]-\dfrac{c}{4}+\left(-\dfrac{c}{7}\right)=22[/tex]

Multiply it by 28:

[tex]-7c-4c=22\cdot 28\\ \\-11c=22\cdot 28\\ \\c=-2\cdot 28=-56[/tex]
