The answer would be the second option B) because we can cross out A) and D) since those are multiplication, and it's not C) because that's commutative property, not associative.
Solve either equation for either variable. Since the second one has y on its own, the easiest choice is to solve that for y.
-5x + y = 13 ⇒ y = 5x + 13
Now substitute this into the other equation to eliminate y and rewrite it entirely in terms of x :
-3x + 3y = 3 ⇒ -3x + 3 (5x + 13) = 3
Simplify and solve for x :
-3x + 15x + 39 = 3
12x = -36
x = -3
Substitute this into either original equation to solve for y. Plugging x = -3 into the first equation would give
-3 (-3) + 3y = 3
9 + 3y = 3
3y = -6
y = -2
So the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, -2).

The second one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: shameeka sold 20 hamsters to the store.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hamsters that shameeka sold to the store.
Let y represent the number of hamsters that the pet store had initially.
Shameeka sold her hamsters to a pet store. This doubled the number of hamsters in the store. It means that
x + y = 2y
x = 2y - y
x = y
Then the store got six more hamsters. If the pet store has 46 hamsters now, it means that
2y + 6 = 46
2y = 46 - 6
2y = 40
y = 40/2
y = 20
Since x = y, then
x = 20
