If 4(2x - y) + 3(x + y) = 53 and 2(2x - y) - 5(x + y) = -17, what is the value of y?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 67/39

Use the repeated linear expressions as new variables: let u = 2x - y and v = x + y. The equations become 4u + 3v = 53 and 2u - 5v = -17. Multiply the first by 5 and the second by 3 to get 20u + 15v = 265 and 6u - 15v = -51. Adding eliminates v and gives 26u = 214, so u = 107/13. Substituting into 2u - 5v = -17 gives 214/13 - 5v = -221/13, hence 5v = 435/13 and v = 87/13. Now 2v - u = 2(x+y) - (2x-y) = 3y. Therefore y = (2v-u)/3 = (174/13 - 107/13)/3 = 67/39. Thus option B is the unique correct answer.
