If (3x+y=22) and (x+2y=19), what is the value of (x-y)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: -2

From the first equation, \(y=22-3x\). Substituting this into \(x+2y=19\) gives \(x+2(22-3x)=19\), so \(-5x=-25\) and hence \(x=5\). Then \(y=7\), giving \(x-y=5-7=-2\). The distractor \(-1\) can result from an error while subtracting the values. Exam tip: find and verify both variable values before evaluating the required expression.
