Answer:

A

Explanation:

If you were to multiply the top by 7 then add you would cancel out the x and if you were to multiply the bottom by 6 then when you use the subtraction method you multiply the top by negative and if that were to happen you would do -6x + -6x which would cancel nothing out. But if you just add the two equations nothing would cancel out.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

A

Explanation:

If you multiply the top by 7, when you add you can cancel out -7x and 7x. The second one doesn't work because it said subtract at the end. If you subtract then it won't cancel out the y's.
