Answer:

C. Multiply the bottom equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+ 4y= 10

3x- 2y =-7

We want to multiply the second equation by 2

-2x+ 4y= 10

6x- 4y =-14

------------------

4x +0y = -4

Answer:

C. Multiply the bottom equation by 2

x = - 1

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying 3x - 2y = - 7 by 2, we get:  

- 2x + 4y = 10

6x - 4y = - 14

____________

4x = - 4

x = - 1

Putting x = - 1 in 3x - 2y = - 7, we get:

3 * (- 1) - 2y = - 7

= - 3 - 2y = - 7

= - 2y = - 7 + 3

= - 2y = - 4

= y = 2

Hope this helps!
