PSAT Math Grid-Ins Question 25: Answer and Explanation

Question: 25

4s + 2t = 7

3s - 2t = 14

In the system of equations above, what is the value of s?

Correct Answer: 3

Explanation:

3

The question asks for the value of s in a system of equation. To find this, look for a way to eliminate the t terms. The t terms have the same coefficient with opposite signs, so stack and add the equations to make t disappear.

Divide both sides by 7 to get s = 3. The correct answer is 3.
