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 second equation is substituted into the first equation.

2x - 7y = 4

3x + y = - 17

A) 2 (3x - 17) - 7y = 4

B) 2 (-3x - 17) - 7y = 4

C) 2x - 7 (3x - 17) = 4

D) 2x - 7 (-3x - 17) = 4

option D

2x - 7 (-3x - 17) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question two equations

Equation 1

2x - 7y = 4

Equation 2

3x + y = - 17

Rearranging equation 2 in terms of y

3x + y = - 17

y = - 17 - 3x

Put this value of y in Equation 1

2x - 7y = 4

2x - 7 (-17 - 3x) = 4

So,

If you use the substitution method to solve the following system, new equation will be

2x - 7 ( - 3x - 17) = 4
