Respuesta :

A. Multiplied by 2 for the first then for the second multiply by three.

Explanation: the equations already have opposite signs for y so reversing the signs would be counterproductive. (Eliminates B and D) and the easiest way is to get the numbers before the Y variable to be the same. The top by 2 and bottom by 3 would do that, leaving only A.
