For 4x - 9y = 31 and 8x + 9y = 65, what is the value of y in the solution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1/9

The answer is A, y=1/9. The y terms have opposite coefficients, −9y and +9y, so add the two equations: (4x−9y)+(8x+9y)=31+65. The y terms cancel and 12x=96, giving x=8. Substitute x=8 into the first equation: 4(8)−9y=31, so 32−9y=31. Subtract 32 from both sides: −9y=−1. Dividing by −9 gives y=1/9. Check in the second equation: 8(8)+9(1/9)=64+1=65. Thus A is correct. Values 2, 3 and 4 do not satisfy the original pair with x=8. When opposite terms appear, adding the equations is the quickest elimination step.
