What is the value of y from the equations 4x + 9y = 71 and 5x - 3y = 8?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: y = 17/3

The answer is B, y=17/3. The y-coefficients are 9 and −3, so multiply the second equation by 3: 15x−9y=24. Add it to 4x+9y=71. The y terms cancel, giving 19x=95, so x=5. Substitute x=5 into 5x−3y=8: 25−3y=8. Hence −3y=−17, and y=17/3. Check the first equation: 4(5)+9(17/3)=20+51=71. Therefore B is correct. The other fractions are distractors because substituting any of them with the corresponding x does not satisfy both original equations. A useful memory cue is to multiply equations so that one pair of coefficients becomes opposites before adding.
