Question #N608

If $3x+4y = 10$ and $2x-y = 5$, what is the value of $x$?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Correct Answer is: B

To solve for $x$, we can use elimination. Multiplying the second equation by 4, we get $8x - 4y = 20$. Adding this equation to the first equation, we get $11x = 30$, which gives us $x = \frac{30}{11}$. Since 2 is the closest integer to $\frac{30}{11}$, the answer is B.
