What is the solution of (7x+2y=42) and (7x-2y=14) by elimination?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (4, 7)

Apply elimination by adding the equations. The y terms have coefficients +2 and -2, so (7x+2y)+(7x-2y)=42+14. This simplifies to 14x=56, giving x=4. Substitute x=4 into the first equation: 7(4)+2y=42, so 28+2y=42, 2y=14, and y=7. Therefore the solution is (4,7), option C. Substitution into the second equation also confirms it: 7(4)-2(7)=28-14=14. Option A gives 35+8=43 in the first equation, option B gives 42+6=48, and option D gives 21+16=37, so none of those pairs satisfies the first equation. The cancellation of opposite y terms is the essential elimination step.
