If 9x + 2y = 41 and 3x - 2y = -5, what is the value of x + 3y?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 24

The relevant concept is elimination because the y-coefficients, +2 and -2, are opposites. Add the equations: (9x + 2y) + (3x - 2y) = 41 + (-5). The y-terms cancel and 12x = 36, so x = 3. Substitute this into 3x - 2y = -5: 3(3) - 2y = -5, giving 9 - 2y = -5, so -2y = -14 and y = 7. Now evaluate the requested expression, x + 3y = 3 + 3(7) = 3 + 21 = 24. Therefore option D is correct. Options A, B, and C are not the value of the required expression; they can arise from stopping after finding x or from an arithmetic error. Substitution verifies both equations.
