Ihave to use elimination to solve it btw

(-4, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is a system of equations where you have two variables and can use the method of eliminate (eliminating one of the variables) to solve.  In this case, you will need to multiply one of the fractions by a factor to eliminate a variable.  It seems easiest to multiply the first equation by a factor of -5:

-5(x - 3y) = -24 (distribute) -5x + 15y = 120

Add the equations:

-5x + 15y = 120

+5x + 8y = -5

      23y = 115 (divide by 23)

         y = 5

Solve for 'x':  x - 3(5) = -24 or x - 15 = 24 (add 15) x = -4

Ordered pair: (-4, 5)
