Answer:

B. Add the two equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve our system of equations step-by-step

Step 1. Add the two equations

2x – 2y = 5 +

5x + 2y = 9

----------------

7x         = 14

Step 2. Solve for x in the resulting equation

7x = 14

x=\frac{14}{7}

x = 2

Step 3. Replace the value of x in any of the original equations

2x – 2y = 5

2(2) – 2y = 5

4 – 2y = 5

-2y = 5 - 4

-2y = 1

y=-\frac{1}{2}

We can conclude that the correct answer is: B. Add the two equations.
