Answer:

D

Explanation:

5x + 3y = 18 → (1)

2x - 3y = 10 → (2)

adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the y- term

7x + 0 = 28

7x = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 4

substitute x = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

5(4) + 3y = 18

20 + 3y = 18 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

3y = - 2 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = -
(2)/(3)
