For Questions 16 – 18, refer to the problem below. Consider the following set of simultaneous equations. 3x − 4y = −42 (i)
2x + 6y = 50 (ii)
16. If x is made the subject of the formula in equation (ii), then:
A x = 3y + 25 B x = −3y + 25 C x = −6y + 50 D x = −3y − 25
17. If x is eliminated in equation (i) then:
A −13y = −117 B 13y = −117 C 15y = 124
D 16y = 215
