Answer: Multiply the second equation by -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The elimination method requires you to set one variable in an equation to be the opposite of that variable in another equation. As such, due to the presence of 2x in the top equation, you need -2x in the bottom. Then, simply add the equations to get the answer.

Hope it helps :)
