For this case we have the following system of equations:


y-15 = 3x\\-2x + 5y = -3

We multiply the first equation by -5:


-5y + 75 = -15x

Now we add the equations:


-2x-5y + 5y + 75 = -3-15x\\-2x + 75 = -3-15x\\-2x + 15x = -75-3\\13x = -78\\x = \frac {-78} {13}\\x = -6

We find the value of the variable "y" according to the first equation:


y = 3x + 15\\y = 3 (-6) +15\\y = -18 + 15\\y = -3

The solution of the system is: (-6, -3)

Answer:

(-6, -3)

Option C
