    x = - 7, y = 5 thus D)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Solve the following system:

    {4 x - 4 y = - 48 | (equation 1)

    5 x - 6 y = - 65 | (equation 2)

    Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

    {5 x - 6 y = - 65 | (equation 1)

    4 x - 4 y = - 48 | (equation 2)

    Subtract 4/5 * (equation 1) from equation 2:

    {5 x - 6 y = - 65 | (equation 1)

    0 x + (4 y) / 5 = 4 | (equation 2)

    Multiply equation 2 by 5/4:

    {5 x - 6 y = - 65 | (equation 1)

    0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

    Add 6 * (equation 2) to equation 1:

    {5 x+0 y = - 35 | (equation 1)

    0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

    Divide equation 1 by 5:

    {x+0 y = - 7 | (equation 1)

    0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

    Collect results:

    Answer: {x = - 7, y = 5
