A
0
B

C
18
D
38
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Choice C is correct. Adding the given equations yields 9x + 9y = 162. Dividing each side of the equation 9x + 9y = 162 by 9 gives x + y = 18.
Choice A is incorrect and may result from incorrectly adding the equations. Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or computational errors. Choice D is incorrect. This value is equivalent to y – x.
