    y=-3/5x

    x-3y=-42

    Plug the first one into the second one, for 'y':

    x - 3 (-0.6x) = - 42

    x + 1.8x = - 42

    2.8x = - 42

    x = - 42/2.8 = - 15

    Plug this back into the first equation above:

    y = - 0.6 (15) = 9

    The 'ordered pair' is (-15, 9). That's choice (D.).
