Answer:

  • A  Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation.
  • B  Add the equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-terms are the same in each equation, so subtracting one equation from the other will eliminate the x-variable.

The y-terms are opposites in the two equations, so adding the two equations will eliminate the y-variable.

Both strategies (subtracting, adding) are applicable to this system of equations.
