    A) - 3 (y + z = 4)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Equation P: y + z = 4

    Equation Q: 3y + 7z = 15

    To eliminate the y term, The equations have to have the coefficients on y equal and opposite.

    Equation Q has 3y, so Equation P needs - 3y

    Multiply equation P by - 3

    -3 (y + z = 4)
