If 3x - 4y = -2 and 5x + 4y = 34, what is the value of 2x + y?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 23/2

The governing concept is elimination followed by evaluation of an expression. Adding the equations is useful because -4y and +4y are opposites: (3x - 4y) + (5x + 4y) = -2 + 34, which gives 8x = 32 and x = 4. Substitute x = 4 into 3x - 4y = -2: 12 - 4y = -2, so -4y = -14 and y = 7/2. Now calculate the requested expression: 2x + y = 2(4) + 7/2 = 8 + 7/2 = 16/2 + 7/2 = 23/2. Therefore option A is correct. The other choices can arise from sign mistakes, incorrect division, or adding the final terms incorrectly. Both original equations verify x = 4 and y = 7/2.
