Craig solves the following system of equations using the elimination method.
2x+4y=164x+8y=−16
He chooses to eliminate the variable y.
Which statement correct describes his process and solution?
A. Craig multiplies 2x + 4y = 16 by 2 and then adds the equations. He finds the result is an identity, so there are infinitely many solutions.
B. Craig multiplies 2x + 4y = 16 by 2 and then subtracts the equations. He finds the result is a contradiction, so there is no solution.
C. Craig multiplies 2x + 4y = 16 by 2 and then subtracts the equations. He finds the result is an identity, so there are infinitely many solutions.
D. Craig multiplies 2x + 4y = 16 by 2 and then adds the equations. He finds the result is a contradiction, so there is no solution.
