Identify the first step using the elimination method to solve the following system of equations:
6x + 3y = 16
7x - 7y = 14
A. 7(6x + 3y = 12) 6(7x - 7y = 14)
B. 7(6x + 3y = 12) 3(7x - 7y = 14)
C. 7(6x + 3y = 12) -3(7x - 7y = 14)
D. -14(6x + 3y = 12) 16(7x - 7y = 14)

Question

Identify the first step using the elimination method to solve the following system of equations: 
6x + 3y = 16 
7x - 7y = 14
	A.	7(6x + 3y = 12) 6(7x - 7y = 14)
	B.	7(6x + 3y = 12) 3(7x - 7y = 14)
	C.	7(6x + 3y = 12) -3(7x - 7y = 14)
	D.	-14(6x + 3y = 12) 16(7x - 7y = 14)

3(2x + y) = 12
7(x - y) = 14

2x + y = 4
 x - y = 2

3x = 6
  x = 2
These are the steps to use elimination

Your answer choices are weird.

By the way, you meant to write 6x + 3y = 12 initally
