Division because if you divide the two functions together, you keep the 3 in the x term. If you add the two functions, your coefficient is 6. If you subtract, the x term is eliminated. If you multiply, you'll get 9x.
3 is smaller than 6 or 9 :)
You’re answer would be B (-6, 1) (-1, -1)
Subtract 2x from each side
2x+3=4x+1
-2x -2x
3=2x+1
subtract 1 from each side
3=2x+1
-1 -1
2=2x
divide each side by 2
2=2x
1=x
