If 12x - 7y = 9 and 4x + 7y = 39, what is the value of 2x - y?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 15/7

Add the equations because the y coefficients are -7 and +7, so they cancel: (12x - 7y) + (4x + 7y) = 9 + 39. This gives 16x = 48 and therefore x = 3. Substitute x = 3 into the second equation: 4(3) + 7y = 39, so 12 + 7y = 39 and 7y = 27. Hence y = 27/7. Now evaluate the requested expression exactly: 2x - y = 2(3) - 27/7 = 6 - 27/7 = 42/7 - 27/7 = 15/7. Therefore option B is correct. The values 2, 4, and 5 may result from forgetting the coefficient 2, using the wrong sign, or rounding y, but none is the exact value.
