答案 A

解析 The correct answer is A. To answer this question, first multiply the bottom equation by -3 to get -9x-21y=-246. Now you can add the two equations and eliminate one of the variables, as follows:
(9x-2y=16)
+(-9x-21y=-246)
- 23y=-230
y=10
Substitute 10 for y in the first equation and solve for x:
9x-2(10)= 16
9x-20=16
9x=36
x=4
Quantity A(x+y)is equivalent to 4 + 10, or 14, and Quantity B = 10; therefore, Quantity A is greater than Quantity B.
