In order to solve the following system of equations by addition,  we multiply both equations with a factor that will eliminate one variable. From the choices listed above, I believe the correct answer is option C. We have to first multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2. Doing such will eliminate the y variable term.

Answer:

C
