On solving x + 3y = 13 and x + y = 7, what is the value of y?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: y = 3

The governing concept is solving a pair of simultaneous linear equations by elimination. Because the coefficient of x is 1 in both equations, subtracting the second equation from the first removes x directly: (x + 3y) − (x + y) = 13 − 7. The left side becomes x + 3y − x − y = 2y, while the right side is 6. Thus 2y = 6, and division by 2 gives y = 3. Therefore option B is correct. For verification, substitute y = 3 into x + y = 7, giving x = 4. In the first equation, 4 + 3(3) = 4 + 9 = 13, so the pair satisfies both equations. The other proposed values do not produce one common x in both equations.
