ANSWER :

C. x^2 + 3x = 28

EXPLANATION :

From the problem, we have :


\begin{cases}2y=6x{} \\ x^2+y=28{}\end{cases}

Express the first equation as y in terms of x :


\begin{gathered} 2y=6x \\ y=(6x)/(2) \\ \\ y=3x \end{gathered}

Then substitute y = 3x to the second equation.


\begin{gathered} x^2+y=28 \\ x^2+3x=28 \end{gathered}
