What is the y -value of the solution to the system of equations? 3 x plus 5 y is equal to 1 7 x plus 4 y is equal to negative 13

Multiply the first equation by 7 and the second by 3 to get 21x + 35y = 7 and 21x + 12y = -39. Subtract the second equation from the first: 23y = 46, so y = 2. The correct choice is 2.
