1.   If you use the elimination method to solve the system of equations
3x - 4y = 9 and 2x + 3y = 7, which of the following would be the best method?

Method I: Multiply both sides of the first equation by 2, and multiply both sides of the second equation by 3. Then add the two equations.

Method II: Multiply both sides of the first equation by 3, and multiply both sides of the second equation by 4. Then add the two equations.

    A. Method I B. Neither Method I nor Method II is correct.
    C. Both Method I and Method II are correct. D. Method II
    Hint
