Answer:

D. Infinite solutions.

Explanation:

Since they give us the equation for (y) we just implement that equation in place of (y) in the second equation

15x+3y=27 now becomes

15x+3(-5x+9)=27

Distribute the 3

15x-15x+27=27

15x and -15x cancel out

27=27

Infinite solutions since both sides are exactly equal.

Hope this helps! If you have any questions on how I got my answer feel free to ask. Stay safe!
