−1(2x + 5y = 24)
−2(2x + 5y = 24)

Answer 1

Hello there

The correct answer is −2(x + y = 8)

I just took the test and got a 100 so the answer is −2(x + y = 8) 100%

Explanation:

I know it may be a little late, but for everyone else who needs help with question, i provided the answer above.

Thank you.

Answer 2

we can multiply first equation by -2 so that would be -2(x+y=8)
that is 2nd option
