Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Elimination Method is the method for solving a pair of linear equations which reduces one equation to one that has only a single variable.

If the coefficients of one variable are opposites, you add the equations to eliminate a variable, and then solve.

If the coefficients are not opposites, then we multiply one or both equations by a number to create opposite coefficients, and then add the equations to eliminate a variable and solve.

When multiplying the equation by a coefficient, we multiply both sides of the equation (multiplying both sides of the equation by some nonzero number does not change the solution).

So, option B is not allowed (it is not allowed to multiply only one part of the equation)
