Question

If 2x + 5y = 109 and 2x + 5 = y + 12, what is the value of y - x?

A.

7

B.

6

C.

8

D.

None of these

Correct option is D

Information Given in Question:

- Equation 1: 2x + 5y = 109

- Equation 2: 2x + 5 = y + 12

Formula Used:

- Substitution method to solve system of equations

- Simplifying and solving linear equations

Solution:

- From Equation 2: 2x + 5 = y + 12

=> 2x - y = 7 [Rewriting Equation 2]

=> y = 2x - 7 [Solving for y]

- Substitute this value of y into Equation 1:

=> 2x + 5(2x - 7) = 109

=> 2x + 10x - 35 = 109

=> 12x = 144 => x = 12

- Substitute x = 12 in y = 2x - 7 => y = 24 - 7 = 17

- So, y - x = 17 - 12 = 5

Final Answer:

y - x = 5
