Answer: D

Explanation:

The first matrix contains the coefficients of the x- and y- values for both equations (top row is the top equation and the bottom row is the bottom equation. The second matrix contains what each equation is equal to.


\begin{array}{c}2x-y\\x-6y\end{array}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&-1\\1&-6\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\begin{array}{c}-6\\13\end{array}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \left[\begin{array}{c}-6\\13\end{array}\right]

The product will result in the solution for the x- and y-values of the system.
