On solving 0.4x + 0.3y = 3.1 and 0.2x − 0.5y = −1.1, what is the value of y?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: y = 53/13

The governing technique is elimination after removing decimal coefficients. Multiply both equations by 10 to obtain 4x + 3y = 31 and 2x − 5y = −11. Multiply the second transformed equation by 2: 4x − 10y = −22. Subtract the first equation from it: (4x − 10y) − (4x + 3y) = −22 − 31. Thus −13y = −53, so y = 53/13. Therefore option D is correct. The decimal scaling is valid because multiplying an entire equation by a nonzero number preserves its solution set. For verification, y = 53/13 gives x = 58/13, and substitution satisfies both original decimal equations. The other fractions do not.
