The elimination method is ideal for solving this system of equations. By which number must you multiply the second equation to eliminate the y-variable, and what is the solution for this system?


x + 3y = 42

2x − y = 14


A: Multiply the second equation by -3. The solution is x = 12, y = 9.

B: Multiply the second equation by -2. The solution is x = 12, y = 10.

C: Multiply the second equation by 2. The solution is x = 15, y = 9.

D: Multiply the second equation by 3. The solution is x = 12, y = 10.

     x+3y=42
+3(2x−y=14)
__________
7x=84

x=12 and since x+3y=42

12+3y=42

3y=30

y=10

So the solution is (12, 10)

Thus the answer is D.
