please help im stuck. Two systems of equations are shown below: System A: 2x + y = 5, -4x + 6y = -2 System B: -10x + 19y = -1, -4x + 6y = -2. Which of the following statements is correct about the two systems of equations?

They will have the same solutions because the first equation of System B is obtained by adding the first equation of System A to 2 times the second equation of System A. They will have the same solution because the first equation of System B is obtained by adding the first equation of System A to 3 times the second equation of System A. The value of x for System B will be –5 times the value of x for System A because the coefficient of x in the first equation of System B is –5 times the coefficient of x in the first equation of System A. The value of x for System A will be equal to the value of y for System B because the first equation of System B is obtained by adding –12 to the first equation of System A and the second equations are identical.
those are the answer choices

The answer is B: They will have the same solution because the first equation of System B is obtained by adding the first equation of System A to 3 times the second equation of System A.
You can figure this out by doing what the answer says... multiply the second equation of System A by 3 and adding that to the first equation of System A and see what you get. You should come up with the first equation of System B.
thank you sooo much @Abbles
