Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

 12a + 18b


Discussion:

The question asks us to calculate

24a + 10 b  -  (12a - 8b)       =>   (combine common terms)

(24a - 12a) + ( 10b + 8b)      =>   ( as - (-8b) = + 8b)

12a + 18b



Regards,  

MrB

The guts of the table are ...

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}x&y&x+y=85&y=2x+4\\19&65&\text{false}&\text{false}\\25&60&\text{true}&\text{false}\\27&58&\text{true}&\text{true}\\32&53&\text{true}&\text{false}\end{array}\right]

Of course, you know the answer after figuring the third line of the table.

The two numbers are 27 and 58.

_____

If the second number is odd, the result after subtracting 4 will not be divisible by 2. This lets you reject the 1st and 4th choices immediately. As for the second choice, twice 25 is 10 less than 60, not 4 less, so that choice can also be discarded.

Starting from the system of equations

x+y=85\\y=2x+4

you can use substitution to get

x+(2x+4)=85\\\\3x=81\qquad\text{subtract 4}\\\\x=27\qquad\text{divide by 3}

This identifies the 3rd selection as the appropriate one.
