Answer:

My answer is option C.

Explanation:

Since you cannot eliminate it immediately then you will need to multiply it by each of the number to make them equal that means you will multiply the first equation by any number in the second equation that is you can use maybe -4 or 2 or 1. and then do the same to the other equation to make them equal...if you use 2 in the second equation for the first equation and you use 7 in the first equation for the second equation the you will make them equal which makes them easier to eliminate and then when you find y which is y=1/22 then you can substitute it into any of the equation and find your x which is x=13/11.
