Answer:

x=0,y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-5y=15 - equation(1)

x-4y=12 => x=12+4y -equation (2)

Replace equation (2) in equation (1)

3(12+4y)-5y=15

36+12y-5y=15

7y=15-36

7y= -21

y = -21/7

y=-3

If y=-3,then replace in equation (1) ; 3x -5(-3)=15

3x+15=15

3x=0

x=0

3(x 1) - 2x = -6 a. x = 1 b. x = 5 c. x = -7 d. x = -9

Your problem did not have an operator between the x and 1 so I did it as subtraction and addition. There was no answer choice -3 so D x=-9 is the answer
