    Choice A is correct answer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given equation is:

    x+y+3 = - 2x+4y+18

    Adding 2x to both sides of above equation, we get

    2x+x+y+3 = 2x-2x+4y+18

    3x+y+3 = 0+4y + 18

    Adding - 4y to both sides of above equation, we get

    3x+y+3 - 4y = 4y+18-4y

    3x-3y+3 = 18

    Adding - 3 to both sides of above equation, we get

    3x-3y+3-3 = 18-3

    3x-3y = 15

    Taking 3 common to both sides of above equation, we get

    3 (x-y) = 3 (5)

    Hence, x-y = 5 where a = 1, b = - 1 and c = 5
