Given that x y 7 and 3x-y 5 evaluate frac y 2 -3 - WAEC Mathematics 2004 Question
Given that x + y = 7 and 3x-y = 5, evaluate \(\frac{y}{2}-3\).
A
-1
B
1
C
3
D
4
correct option: a
(x + y = 7 ------ I<br />
3x – y = 5 ------ II)
Add I and II;
(4x = 12 => x = \frac{12}{4} = 3<br />
Y = 7 – 3 = 4, evaluate \hspace{1mm} \frac{y}{2} – 3<br />
\frac{4}{2} – 3 => 2-3 = -1)
