This is a problem that i have to solve with matrixes, show me all of the work. i will award brainliest.

at a particular swim meet, 10 points were awarded for each first-place finish, 8 points for second, and 7 points for third.

washington high school had 10 first place finishes, 6 second place finishes and 2 third place finishes.
johnson high school had 8 first place finishes, 9 second place finishes and 1 third place finish.
roosevelt high school had 4 first place finishes, 5 second place finishes and 4 third place finishes.
lewis high school had 3 first place finishes, 3 second place finishes and 6 third place finishes.
find the total number of points for each school. which school won the meet? which school came in second and what was the difference?

The total points by Washington High School =  162 points

The total points by  Johnson High School   =  159 points

The total points by  Roosevelt High School =  108 points

The total points by  Lewis High School =  196 points

Washington High School  has WON the meet.

Johnson High School came second.

The difference in the points= 2 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Points awarded for first place = 10 points

Points awarded for second place = 8 points

Points awarded for third place = 7 points

About Washington High School

10 first places  = 10 x ( 10) = 100 points

6 second places  = 6 x ( 8) = 48 points

2 first places  = 2 x ( 7) = 14 points

So, the total points by  Washington High School  = Sum of all points  

=  100 + 48 + 14   =  162 points     (1)

About Johnson High School

8 first places  = 8 x ( 10) = 80 points

9 second places  = 9 x ( 8) = 72 points

1 first places  = 1 x ( 7) = 7 points

So, the total points by  Johnson High School  = Sum of all points  

=  80 + 72 + 7   =  159 points     (2)

About Roosevelt High School

4 first places  = 4 x ( 10) = 40 points

5 second places  = 5 x ( 8) = 40 points

4 first places  = 4 x ( 7) = 28 points

So, the total points by  Roosevelt High School  = Sum of all points  

=  40 + 40 + 28   =  108 points   (3)

About Lewis High School

3 first places  = 3 x ( 10) = 30 points

3 second places  = 3 x ( 8) = 24 points

6 first places  = 6 x ( 7) = 42 points

So, the total points by  Lewis High School  = Sum of all points  

=  30 + 42 + 24   =  96 points       (4)

Now, comparing all four equation, we get that:

Washington High School  has WON the meet.

Johnson High School came second.

The difference in the points  = 162 - 159 = 2 points
