问题 Each of Questions 1 to 7 presents two quantities. Quantity A and Quantity B. Compare the two quantities. You may use additional information centered above the quantities if such information is given. Choose one of the following answer choices:
A if Quantity A is greater;
B if Quantity B is greater;
C if the two quantities are equal;
D if you cannot determine the relationship based on the given information.


选项 A、 
B、 
C、 
D、 

答案A

解析 The correct answer is A. To solve this system of equations, first multiply the bottom equation by -2 to get -2x+8y=26. Next, add the two equations together(note: their x-values will conveniently cancel out).
2x+3y=18
-2x+8y=26
11y=44
Dividing both sides of the equation 11y=44 yields y=4. Using the original equation x-4y=-13, substitute 4 for y. Thus x-4(4)=-13, or x-16=-13. Adding 16 to both sides results in x=3. Therefore, Quantity A, x+y, equals 3+4, or 7. Quantity B is 6, which is less than 7.
