ANSWER
Given equations as :
2
7
x+
2
5
y=5...(1)
4x+2y=7...(2)
From equation (1) we have value of y:
⇒7x+5y=10
⇒5y=10−7x
⇒y=
5
10−7x
Substitute value of y in second equation will have x value:
4x+2(
5
10−7x
)=7
⇒20x+2(10−7x)=35
⇒20x+20−14x=35
⇒6x=15
⇒x=

5
Now replacing x value in equation 2nd will get y value
4(

)+2y=7
⇒20+4y=14
⇒4y=14−20
⇒4y=−6
⇒4y=−6
⇒y=

y=

Hence, option B is correct.
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2(y+5)−5(2y−1)=7(3−y)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(y+5)−5(2y−1)=7(3−y)
(2)(y)+(2)(5)+(−5)(2y)+(−5)(−1)=(7)(3)+(7)(−y)(Distributive)
2y+10+−10y+5=21+−7y
(2y+−10y)+(10+5)=−7y+21(Combine Like Terms)
−8y+15=−7y+21
−8y+15=−7y+21
Step 2: Add 7y to both sides.
−8y+15+7y=−7y+21+7y
−y+15=21
Step 3: Subtract 15 from both sides.
−y+15−15=21−15
−y=6
Step 4:Divide both sides by -1
-y/-1=6/-1
y=-6
So y=-6
