Answer:

  d.  14 -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to substitute for y in the second equation, you must use the first equation to find an expression for y.

  3x +y = 14 . . . . . . first equation

  y = 14 -3x . . . . . .  subtract 3x from both sides

This gives you the expression for y that you want to use for substitution. It matches the expression of choice D.

  y = 14 -3x . . . . matches D
