Answer:

D. $x^2 + 4x = 18$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations below, Maria isolated the variable y in the first equation and then substituted it into the second equation.

First equation is $3y=12x$

To isolate y we divide both sides by 3

$y=4x$

Now substitute 4x for y in second equation

$x^2+y=18$

$x^2+4x=18$

this equation is in option D
