Final answer:

The solution (-3, 5) does not satisfy any of the given equations in the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution of the system of equations y = -x - 10 and 3x + 15y = 19 as (-3, 5), we need to substitute the values of x and y into the equations. Let's start with equation (a):

y = -x - 10

Substituting x = -3 and y = 5:

5 = -(-3) - 10

5 = 3 - 10

5 = -7

The values do not satisfy equation (a). Therefore, the solution (-3, 5) is not a solution to the given system of equations.

Similarly, substituting the values into equations (b) and (d) will also not yield the solution (-3, 5). Therefore, there is no way to complete the equations so that the solution of the system of equations is (-3, 5).
