Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x - 2y = 9 → (1)

3x - 2y = 7 → )2)

Multiplying (2) by - 1 and adding to (1) eliminates the term in y

- 3x + 2y = - 7 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

(5x - 3x) + (- 2y + 2y) = (9 - 7), that is

2x = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 1 → C
