Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
x + 2y = 27 → (1)
2x + 3y = 46 → (2)
Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides
x = 27 - 2y ← substitute into (2)
2(27 - 2y) + 3y = 46
54 - 4y + 3y = 46
54 - y = 46 ( subtract 54 from both sides )
- y = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
y = 8 → D
