Answer:

B

Explanation:

4x - 3y = 9 → (1)

4x + y = 7 → (2)

Rearranging (1) in terms of x or y will involve using fractions, which we want to avoid if possible.

However, using equation (2) avoids introducing fractions.

In (2) subtract 4x from both sides

y = 7 - 4x → (3)

Then substitute y = 7 - 4x into (1) and proceed
