Answer:

D

Explanation:

Since you want to eliminate y, the y value on the bottom equation has the be the opposite of the y value on the top one. So it's 4y on the top one, so the bottom one has to be -4y to eliminate y. The bottom one is -2y, so -2 times 2 =-4, so multiply the bottom one by 2 omg i miss linear combination
