The answer is B, see how to calculate it
----
x=5+2y
-3(5+2y)+2y=7 ///put things from the first equation into the second one
---
x=5+2y
-15-6y+2y=7 ///reduce
---
x=5+2y
-4y=7+15 /// move everything without y into right side
-----
x=5+2y
-4y=22 ////reduce
-----
x=5+2y
y=-11/2 ///dive by what stands
----
x=5+2*(-11/2)
y=-11/2
---
x=-6
y=-11/2
