If y = x − 2 and 2x + y = 13, which is the correct solution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x = 5, y = 3

The governing concept is substitution because y is already isolated in the first equation. Replace y in the second equation by x − 2: 2x + (x − 2) = 13. Combining like terms gives 3x − 2 = 13. Add 2 to both sides to obtain 3x = 15, then divide by 3 to get x = 5. Substitute this value into y = x − 2: y = 5 − 2 = 3. Therefore the solution is (x, y) = (5, 3), so option A is correct. Verification gives 2(5) + 3 = 13 and 3 = 5 − 2. Option C has the values in an incompatible combination, while B and D fail at least one original equation.
