 D.
2x – 5y = 1

fantalux · Answer

I know i have to subtract y from both sides but where do i plug it in?

bibby · Answer

Start by distributing  the 2.
6 – 2(x – y) = 3x + 5

6-[2x-y]
6-2x+y=3x+5

Oh lol....

bibby · Answer

Anyhow.... :D
6-2x+2y=3x+5 *** I messed up the subtraction

fantalux · Answer

...I got 4x+2y=8x......

bibby · Answer

6-2x+2y=3x+5 *** 
add 2x to both sides

6+2y=5x+5
subtract 5 from both sides

1+2y=5x

fantalux · Answer

So the answer is 5x+2y=1???

bibby · Answer

No. try manipulating$$\large 1+2y=5x$$
into one of the equations

fantalux · Answer

ummmm....... 5x-2y=1 or does the 2 have to me negative???

bibby · Answer

That's right. if you subtract 2y from both sides you get 5x-2y = 1 which is one of the answers

Ya! Lol Thankyou Bibby!
