Answer:

  D.  Multiply the second equation by 3. The solution is x = 12, y = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to cancel the +3y term in the first equation, the second equation's y-term (-y) must be multiplied by a value that makes it be -3y. The second equation must be multiplied by 3.

__

That answer choice also has the correct values for the solutions to x and y.
