Official Solution:
If \(x\) and \(y\) are positive integers and \((5\frac{3}{x})*(y\frac{1}{2})=19\), where \(5\frac{3}{x}\) and \(y\frac{1}{2}\) are mixed fractions, then what is the values of \(x + y\)?
A. \(3\)
B. \(5\)
C. \(7\)
D. \(10\)
E. \(11\)
\((5\frac{3}{x})*(y\frac{1}{2})=19\)
\((\frac{5x+3}{x})*(\frac{2y+1}{2})=19\)
\((5x+3)(2y+1)=38x\)
From, \((5\frac{3}{x})*(y\frac{1}{2})=19\) it follows that \(y\) must be less than 4 (\(5.something*4.something=20.something\)). So, \(y\) can be 3, 2, or 1.
If \(y=3\), then from \((5x+3)(2y+1)=38x\), \(x=7\), and \(x+y=10\).
If \(y=2\), then from \((5x+3)(2y+1)=38x\), \(x=\frac{15}{13}\neq integer\). Not possible since \(x\) must be integer.
If \(y=1\), then from \((5x+3)(2y+1)=38x\), \(x=\frac{9}{23}\neq integer\). Not possible since \(x\) must be integer.

Since the final product is 19, y must be 3
[As 5*3 < 19 < 5*4]
Thus we are left with solving for x:
[(5x+3)/3]*7/2=19
Solving for x, we get x=7
Therefore x+y=7+3=10 ANS
