If 3x + 4y = 25 and 3x + y = 13, what is the value of y?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: y = 4

The governing concept is the elimination method for a pair of linear equations in two variables. Both equations contain the term 3x, so subtracting the second equation from the first removes x without changing the common solution. Thus, (3x + 4y) − (3x + y) = 25 − 13, which simplifies to 3y = 12. Dividing both sides by 3 gives y = 4. To verify the result, substitute y = 4 into the second equation: 3x + 4 = 13, so x = 3. The first equation then becomes 3(3) + 4(4) = 9 + 16 = 25, confirming the solution. Therefore, option C is correct. Values 2, 3, and 5 do not produce a common x-value satisfying both original equations.
