The correct answer is solve for y in the second equation.

Step 1: Multiply each equation by a suitable number so that the two equations have the same leading coefficient. ...
Step 2: Subtract the second equation from the first.
Step 3: Solve this new equation for y.
Step 4: Substitute y = 2 into either Equation 1 or Equation 2 above and solve for x.
