Answer:

A.Multiplication Property of Equality

Explanation:


\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+2y=14\\-x+y=5&\text{\underline{multiply both sides by 2}}\end{array}\right\\\\\boxed{\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+2y=14\\-2x+2y=10\end{array}\right}}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad\qquad4y=24\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\.\qquad\qquad y=6\\\\\text{put the value of y to the second equation:}\\\\-x+6=5\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\-x=-1\qquad\text{change the signs}\\x=1
