For 14x + 5y = 77 and 7x - 5y = -7, what is the value of y - x in the solution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 41/15

The coefficients of y are +5 and -5, so addition eliminates y immediately. Add the equations: (14x + 5y) + (7x - 5y) = 77 + (-7), giving 21x = 70 and x = 10/3. Substitute this value into 14x + 5y = 77: 14(10/3) + 5y = 77. Since 140/3 is subtracted from 231/3, 5y = 91/3, so y = 91/15. The requested expression is y - x. Convert x to fifteenths: 10/3 = 50/15. Thus y - x = 91/15 - 50/15 = 41/15. Therefore option C is correct. The integer choices 5, 6, and 8 cannot equal this exact fractional value and result from incomplete or incorrect elimination.
