Could someone please help me? :(

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalent to y from the first equation is substituted into the second equation. 15x - y = -6 5x - 3y = -13

@Directrix @Nnesha

Directrix (directrix):

Take this and solve for y. First Equation: 15x - y = -6 y =15x +6

Directrix (directrix):

Into the second equation, substitute 15x + 6 for y. Second Equation: 5x - 3y = -13

Directrix (directrix):

5x - 3y = -13 5x - 3 * (15x + 6) = -13 --->

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From there don out combine?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you

Directrix (directrix):

Yes. I'm wondering if you have answer options for how the second equation is supposed to look after the substitution.

Directrix (directrix):

Or, is it you asking the question as you are solving the system?

Directrix (directrix):

If you want to solve for x, then you need to simplify this to solve for x. 5x - 3 * (15x + 6) = -13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

. 5(-15x - 6) - 3y = -13 5(15x + 6) - 3y = -13 5x - 3(15x + 6) = -13 5x - 3(-15x - 6) = -13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Those are my answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sooo c

Directrix (directrix):

I see an answer choice identical to this: 5x - 3 * (15x + 6) = -13 --->

Directrix (directrix):

C is what I think, too.

Directrix (directrix):

You are welcome.
