Question

If in the equation \(x+3y=10\), the value of \(y\) is \(4\), then the value of \(x\) will be

• A. -2
• B. 2
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( x \) in the equation \( x + 3y = 10 \), given that \( y = 4 \).

1. Substituting the Value of \( y \):
We are given:
\( x + 3y = 10 \)
Substitute \( y = 4 \) into the equation:
\( x + 3(4) = 10 \)

2. Simplifying the Equation:
\( x + 12 = 10 \)

3. Solving for \( x \):
Subtract 12 from both sides:
\( x = 10 - 12 = -2 \)

Final Answer:
The value of \( x \) is -2.
