    If 2x-3y = 11 and 3x+15 = 0, what is the value of y?
    A

    -7

    B

    -5

    C

    1/3

    D

    3

    E

    10


    正确答案： A
    解析：
    First solve the equation that contains one variable. Since 3x+15 = 0, then 3x = -15, so x = -15/3 = -5. Substituting -5 for x in the other equation, 2x-3y = 11, gives 2(-5)-3y = 11 or -10-3y = 11. Adding 10 to both sides of the equation makes -3y = 21, so y = -21/3 = -7.
