If 4x + 5y = 83 and \( \Large \frac{3x}{2y} \) = \( \Large \frac{21}{22} \) then what is the value of y - x ?
A) 3
B) 4
C) 7
D) 11
Correct answer:
B) 4
Description for Correct answer:
4x + 5y = 83 ....(i)
\( \Large \frac{3x}{2y} = \frac{21}{22} \) => \( \Large \frac{x}{y} = \frac{21}{22} \times \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \Large \frac{7}{11} \)
=> x = \( \Large \frac{7}{11}y \) ....(ii)
From equation (i),
\( \Large 4 \times \frac{7}{11}y \) + 5y = 83
=> 28y + 55y = 913
=> 83y = 913
=> y = \( \Large \frac{913}{83} \) = 11
From equation (ii),
x = \( \Large \frac{7}{11} \times 11 \) = 7
\( \Large \therefore \) y - x = 11 - 7 = 4
