Multiply 2x-2y=10 by 2,
4x-4y=20,
given:4x-5y=17
y=3
pluck it in
2x-6=10
move the 6 to the right
2x=16
divide
x=8
y=3
A number that is a multiple of both 2 and 5 is 10
The correct answer is C because the problem showed ( x + 20 ) and ( x + 8 ) two times in the problem. That explains why there is a two outside of the parentheses.
