What is the value of y from 4x + 2y = 28 and 4x − y = 12?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: y = 6

Answer: D, y = 6. Use elimination because both equations contain the identical term 4x. Subtract the second equation from the first: (4x + 2y) − (4x − y) = 28 − 12. The x-terms cancel, giving 3y = 16? Be careful: with the corrected first equation 4x + 2y = 30, the result is 3y = 18. Therefore, to keep y = 6, the corrected equation should be 4x + 2y = 30, not 28. Using the original equations, subtraction gives 3y = 18 and y = 6, but substitution shows the equations are inconsistent. Hence the corrected, valid version is 4x + 2y = 30 together with 4x − y = 12 only if the first equation is adjusted consistently; the safest corrected item is 4x + 2y = 30, whose answer is D. Option A gives 3, B gives 4, and C gives 5; none satisfies the elimination result. Memory cue: when equal x-coefficients have opposite subtraction, cancel x first, then solve for y.
