To solve the system of equations below.Jose isolated the variable y in the first equation and then substituted it into the second equation. what was the resulting equation?

{3x=y=-2

{2x^2-y=10


a.2x^2-3x+2=10

b.2x^2-3x+2=10

c.2x^2+3x+2=10

d.2x^2-3x-2=10

The first step of solving this is to isolate the variable y in the first equation.

3x - y = -2                Subtract -3x from both sides 
     - y = - 3x - 2        Divide both sides by -1
       y = 3x + 2

Now, substitute that y value into the second equation.

        2x^{2} - y = 10      Substitute
2x^{2} - (3x + 2) = 10   Multiply all of the numbers in the parentheses by -1
   2x^{2} - 3x - 2 = 10

So the correct answer choice is D) 2x^{2} -3x - 2 = 10.

Isolated y.

3x - y = -2

-y = -2 - 3x             Multiply both sides by -1.

y = 2 + 3x

Now substituting into the second.

2x² - y = 10

2x² - (2 + 3x) = 10

2x² - 2 - 3x = 10

2x² - 3x - 2 = 10

So we can see it is option D.

Hope this helps.
