2x + 5y = -24
3x - 5y = 14
Solve by elimination
y and x

x = -2

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The way systems of equations  work is that you have to substitute to solve for a variable *(only one of the 2 ways to figure this out)*

so, we will use addition property of equality in a form to add the two equations together, since +5y and -5y added together will cancel out.

that would leave

5x = -10

divide both sides by 5

x = -2

Now that we know x = -2, we can plug in -2 into one of the equations to find y.

2 ( -2)  + 5y = -24

-4 + 5y = -24

-4 + 4 + 5y = -24 + 4

5y = -20

y = -4

x = -2

y = -4

12

step-by-step explanation:

12 + 5 = 17

12x2=24

24-7=17
