\[\left\{ \begin{matrix}
2x - 15y = 21\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\
12x + 5y = 31\ \ | \cdot 3 \\
\end{matrix} \right.\ \]
\[\left\{ \begin{matrix}
2x - 15y = 21\ \ \\
36x + 15y = 93 \\
\end{matrix} \right.\ ( + )\]
\[38x = 114\]
\[x = 114\ :38\]
\[x = 3.\]
\[5y = 31 - 12x = 31 - 12 \cdot 3 = 31 - 36\]
\[5y = - 5\]
\[y = - 1.\]
\[\left\{ \begin{matrix}
x_{0} = 3\ \ \ \ \\
y_{0} = - 1 \\
\end{matrix} \right.\ \]
\[x_{0} - y_{0} = 3 + 1 = 4.\]
\[Ответ:4)\ 4.\]
