If (6x+11y=9) and (12x-11y=63), what is the value of (x-y)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(\frac{59}{11}\)

Adding the two equations eliminates \(y\): \(18x=72\), so \(x=4\). Substituting into \(6x+11y=9\) gives \(24+11y=9\), hence \(y=-\frac{15}{11}\). Therefore, \(x-y=4-\left(-\frac{15}{11}\right)=\frac{59}{11}\). \(\frac{15}{11}\) is only the magnitude of \(y\), not the value of \(x-y\). Exam tip: add equations directly when a variable has opposite coefficients.
