If 4x + 7y = 53 and 4x − 3y = 13, what is the value of x − y?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x − y = 9/4

The equal coefficients of x make elimination immediate. Subtract the second equation from the first: (4x + 7y) − (4x − 3y) = 53 − 13. The x terms cancel and the y terms give 7y + 3y = 10y, so 10y = 40 and y = 4. Substitute y = 4 into 4x − 3y = 13: 4x − 12 = 13, hence 4x = 25 and x = 25/4. Therefore x − y = 25/4 − 4 = 25/4 − 16/4 = 9/4, making option A correct. Substitution verifies both original equations. The other choices arise from errors in subtraction, sign handling, or putting the result over the wrong denominator.
