Answer 2

• A. 13

Explanation:

Note: It seems typo in the question. 5% should read 59.

Let 3 credit courses = x, 4 credit courses = y

As per given we have following equations:

• x + y = 18
• 3x + 4y = 59

Solve the system by elimination. Multiply the first equation by 4 and subtract the second one:

• 4(x + y) - (3x + 4y) = 4(18) - 59
• 4x + 4y - 3x - 4y = 72 - 59
• x = 13

The answer is 13

Correct choice is A
