Multiply the first equation by five to yield, 15x + 5y = 45. Add this equation to the second equation from the given,
                                       15x + 5y = 45
                             +         3x - 5y = 15
The answer would be 18x = 60. The value of x is 10/3. Therefore, the answer to this item is letter A. 

Answer:

Option A. is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations are 3x + y = 9 ------------(1)

and 3x - 5y = 15 ----------(2)

we have to calculate the value of x common for both.

We multiply equation 1 by 5 and add it to equation 2

15x + 5y = 45

3x - 5y = 15___

18x = 60

x = [tex]\frac{60}{18}=\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Therefore option A. [tex]x=\frac{10}{3}[/tex] is the answer.
