Method Selection for Operational Efficiency

An operations analyst is reviewing two mathematical models used for resource allocation. The manager asks the analyst to identify the most efficient algebraic method for solving each system based on its current structure.

System A: {y=2x1,  3x4y=6}\{y = 2x - 1,\; 3x - 4y = -6\} System B: {6x2y=12,  3x+7y=13}\{6x - 2y = 12,\; 3x + 7y = -13\}

Based on standard algebraic efficiency guidelines, which method should be identified for System A, and which for System B?
