one half y equals 4
x minus, one half y, equals 2

The system of equations above has solution (x, y). What is the value of x ?

  1. three

     

  2. the fraction 7 over 2

     

  3. four

     

  4. six

     


Tip: Press CTRL/Command to toggle answer
Correct Answer: D
Rationale

Choice D is correct. Adding the corresponding sides of the two equations eliminates y and yields x equals 6, as shown.

The equation one half y equals 4, added to the equation x minus one half y, equals 2, gives the equation x plus 0, equals 6

If (x, y) is a solution to the system, then (x, y) satisfies both equations in the system and any equation derived from them. Therefore, x equals 6.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect and may be the result of errors when solving the system.
