What is the value of x + y from 4x - 7y = 9 and 6x + 7y = 71?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 79/7

The governing concept is the elimination method for a pair of linear equations. The coefficients of y are -7 and +7, so adding the equations removes y without requiring a preliminary multiplication: (4x - 7y) + (6x + 7y) = 9 + 71. Thus 10x = 80, giving x = 8. Substitute this value into 4x - 7y = 9: 4(8) - 7y = 9, so 32 - 7y = 9, hence 7y = 23 and y = 23/7. Therefore x + y = 8 + 23/7 = 56/7 + 23/7 = 79/7. Option D is correct. Option C may result from an addition error, while A and B do not satisfy the obtained values. Substitution confirms both original equations.
