waecmaths question:
Given that $2x+y=7$and $3x-2y=3$, by now much is 7x greater than 10
Option A:
1
Option B:
3
Option C:
7
Option D:
17
waecmaths solution:
$\begin{align} & 2x+y=7---(i) \\ & 3x-2y=3---(ii) \\ & \text{From }(i)\text{ }y=7-2x \\ & \text{Substitute }7-2x\text{ for }x\text{ in }(ii) \\ & 3x-2(7-2x)=3 \\ & 3x-14+4x=3 \\ & 7x-14=3 \\ & 7x=17 \\ & x=\tfrac{17}{7} \\ & \therefore (7\times \tfrac{17}{7})-10=7 \\\end{align}$
