I believe it is a but i will double check and post ok
2/7 ( k+5/8) = 2 and 2/7
2/7 (k+5/8) = 16/7 |multiply by 7
2(k+5/8) = 16 |divide by 2
k+5/8 = 8 |subtract 5/8
k=8-5/8 = 7 and 3/8 = 27/8 = 7.375
2x-y=2--------------(i)
2x-2y=4------------(ii)
Multiplying eqn i by 2 and subtracting with ii
4x-2y=4
2x-2y=4
- + -
________
2x=0
X=0
Putting the value of x in i
2×0-y=2
-y=2
y=-2
Hence the value of x is 0 and y is -2
X = 13
Hope that helps (:
If you need me to show my work letme know!
The answer to the question is b
