Question

Which one is it A. B. C. or D.

Answer 1

7x + 2y = 2
2x - y = 10

2y = - 7x + 2
- y = - 2x + 10

2y = -7x + 2
y = 2x - 10


`y=(-7x+2)/(2)`
y= 2x - 10

y = -3.5x + 1
y = 2x - 10

Now, let's find "x" first by doing a substituion !

2x - 10 = - 3.5x + 1
y = 2x - 10

2x + 3.5x = 1 + 10
y = 2x - 10

5.5x = 11
y= 2x - 10


`x = (11)/(5.5)=2`
y= 2*2 - 10 = 4 - 10 = -6

In short, the answer would be : y = -6 (Option B).

Hope this helps !
