The table can be used to determine the solution to the system of equations, 2y − x = 8, and y − 2x = −5. A table with 6 columns

and 2 rows. The first column, Original System has 2 y minus x equals 8 and y minus 2 x equals negative 5. The second column, Equivalent System, has 2 y minus x equals 8 and negative y plus 4 x equals 10. The third column, Sum of equations in Equivalent System, has 3 x equals 18. The fourth column, Solution to System, is blank. The fifth column, New System Using Sum, has2 y minus x equals 8 and 3 x equals 18. The sixth column, Solution to New System is blank. Which solution can be used to fill in both blanks in the table? (1, 6) (6, 1) (7, 6) (6, 7)
