Multiply the variable k times 4 would give you 4k.
Then cross multiply 14x8 = 112
Therefore, you would have 4k = 112.
Divide 112 by 4 to get your answer!
The answer i believe is C
<span>3x = y + 7
</span><span> y =3x-7
</span>
<span>8x = 2y + 5
</span><span>8x = 2(3x-7) + 5
8x=6x-14+5
8x-6x=-9
2x=-9
x=-4.5
</span><span>8x = 2y + 5
</span>8(4.5)=2y+5
36=2y+5
2y=31
y=15.5
