Your answer would be -2x + y = -13
We can find this by expanding the brackets on the right hand side and then rearranging so that the x and y terms are on the left and all the numbers are on the right:
y + 3 = 2(x - 5)
y + 3 = 2x - 10
- 2x
y + 3 - 2x = -10
- 3
y - 2x = -13

And this is your final answer. I hope this helps!

Answer:

2x -y = 13

Explanation:

y+3= 2(x-5)

Distribute

y+3 = 2x-10

Subtract 2x from each side

-2x +y+3 = 2x-2x-10

-2x +y +3 = -10

Subtract 3 from each side

-2x+y+3-3 = -10-3

-2x+y = -13

Multiply each side by -1 since A should be positive

2x -y = 13
