Question

If $y=-x-15$ and $\frac{5y}{2}-37=-\frac{x}{2}$, then the value of $2x+6y$ is.

• A. $95$
• B. $59$
• C. $89$
• D. $149$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $59$

Consider the equations $x+y=-15$...(i)

and $\frac{5y}{2}+\frac{x}{2}=37$ ...(ii)

Multiplying the second equation by $2$ gives us $5y+x=74$.

Now adding it with equation no (i) gives us $6y+2x=74-15=59$
$\therefore 6y+2x=59$
