Let x and y be two numbers. Three times their sum is 60 and twice their difference is 12; that is, 3x + 3y = 60 and 2x − 2y = 12. What is the solution (x, y) obtained by the graphical method?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (13, 7)

Dividing the equations by 3 and 2 respectively gives x + y = 20 and x − y = 6. Adding these equations gives 2x = 26, so x = 13 and y = 7. Thus, the intersection point of the two lines is (13, 7). Option B has the correct sum but gives a difference of −6, not 6. Exam tip: In the graphical method, the point where the two lines intersect represents the solution of the pair of equations.
