ANSWER
The correct answer is option B
EXPLANATION
The equations are

and

When we multiply the second equation by
, we obtain;

When we combine this new equation with equation (1).

We can see that
has been eliminated from the equation.
We can then, solve for
and then substitute the result in to any of the equations to find
.
Hence the correct answer is option B
