I need answer ASAP

Annie wrote the following steps to solve a pair of equations: Step 1: y = −x − 5 y = 2x + 2 Step 2: 2y = −2x −10 y = 2x + 2 Which of the following shows the correct next step to solve the equations by eliminating x?
A. 3y = –5
B. 3y = –8
C. 3y = –12
D. 3y = –20

Answer 1

The answer is B.

Explanation:

2y = -2x - 10

y = 2x + 2 (combine like terms using addition)

_________

3y = -8
