If 2x−7y=5 and 4x+7y=43, which pair of x and y is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x=8, y=11/7

The appropriate governing method is elimination because the coefficients of y are -7 and +7, which are opposites. Add the two equations term by term: (2x - 7y) + (4x + 7y) = 5 + 43. The y terms cancel, leaving 6x = 48, so x = 8. Substitute x = 8 into the first equation: 2(8) - 7y = 5. Thus 16 - 7y = 5, so 7y = 11 and y = 11/7. The ordered pair is therefore (8,11/7), which is option A. Checking in the second equation gives 4(8) + 7(11/7) = 32 + 11 = 43. The other listed pairs fail to satisfy both equations simultaneously, even if one equation may appear close for a particular pair.
