Using elimination, what equation is obtained by subtracting x − y = 1 from x + 3y = 13?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4y = 12

The answer is A, 4y=12. Subtract the complete second equation from the first: (x+3y)−(x−y)=13−1. When the minus sign is distributed through the parentheses, x−y becomes −x+y in the subtraction. Thus the left side is x+3y−x+y. The x terms cancel, and 3y+y=4y. The right side is 13−1=12, so the resulting equation is 4y=12. Option B would incorrectly treat the second y-term as if its sign did not change. Option C has an incorrect right-hand side. Option D is wrong because x must be eliminated when the equations are subtracted. The safest habit is to use parentheses before subtracting an entire equation.
