When positive integer x is divided by 11, the quotient is y and the remainder is 4. When 2x is divided by 8, the quotient is 3y and the remainder is 1. What is the value of 13y – x ? Choose the correct choice from the following
A) 2 B) 3 C) 4 D) 5 E) 6
(1) x = 11y + 4   (2) 2x = 24y + 1   Let's subtract equation (1) from equation (2).   13y - 3 = x   13y - x = 3   The answer is 3.
