a student is trying to solve the system of two equations given below:

*will give brainliest*equation p: x + y = 8
equation q: 2x + 5y = 24

which of the following steps can be used to eliminate the x term?
2(x + y = 8)
−2(x + y = 8)
−1(2x + 5y = 24)
−2(2x + 5y = 24)

This is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 3 terms. this is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 4 terms. this is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 4 terms. this is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 3 terms. this is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 5 terms.
