Question

negative x plus y equals negative 3.5
x plus 3 y equals 9.5
If (x, y) satisfies the system of equations above, what is the value of y ?

hintHint:

Since there are 2 unknown variables x and y, and 2 equations then we would have a solution to the given system of equations. We perform logical algebraic manipulations to get the (x, y) pair.

The correct answer is: The value of y is 3 over 2


    Step 1 of 2:
    Given two equations are
    negative x plus y equals negative 3.5
    x plus 3 y equals 9.5 horizontal ellipsis
    Now, adding (ii) with (i), we get
    left parenthesis x plus 3 y right parenthesis plus left parenthesis negative x plus y right parenthesis equals 9.5 plus left parenthesis negative 3.5 right parenthesis
