Which is the solution of (y=3x) and (x+y=16)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ( (4,12) )

The correct answer is option B: (4, 12). The first equation already gives y = 3x, so substitution is the quickest method. Put this into x + y = 16: x + 3x = 16, hence 4x = 16 and x = 4. Now y = 3x = 3 × 4 = 12. Therefore the solution is (4, 12). Option A, (3, 13), has y = 13 rather than 3x = 9, so it fails the first equation. Option B satisfies both: 12 = 3 × 4 and 4 + 12 = 16. Option C, (5, 11), fails because 11 is not 15 and because 5 + 11 = 16 only satisfies the second equation. Option D, (6, 10), fails the first equation since 10 is not 18, although its sum is 16. Always test both equations, not just one. Memory cue: when one equation gives a variable directly, substitute it into the other equation immediately.
