The first option (2x - y) = -13 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
Start out with: y-3=2(x+5)
Expand and isolate the y variable: y=2x+10+3
Add like terms: y=2x+13
To fit the answers on the MC question, move the x variable to the left side of the equation: y-2x=13
Then multiply everything by (-1) to fit the first option: 2x-y= -13

Hope this helps!!
