    B) Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation

    C) Add the equations.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have to eliminate a variable in the system of equations

    6x + 5y = 1 ... (1) and

    6x - 5y = 7 ... (2)

    Since the y-term on both the equations are the same but opposite in sign, therefore the strategy to eliminate y variable from the system of equations (1) and (2) is to add the equations. (Answer)

    Again, the x-terms are the same and with a similar sign, therefore, by subtracting the bottom equation from the top equation we can also eliminate the x-variable. (Answer)
