2x + y = 13
|y| <= 13
For how many ordered pairs (x , y) that are solutions of the system above are x and y both integers?
Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 7 B) 10 C) 12 D) 13 E) 14

Rationale: hi - the questions says | y | < = 13 so the values of y will range from 0 to 13 . so the values of y will be 0,1 , 2,3 , 4,5 , 6,7 , 8,9 , 10,11 , 12,13 . so 14 ( e ) is the answer . remember sign does n ' t matter for y as y will always be positive .
Answer: E
