Solve for x and y
Y = 3x - 24 5x - y = 8
please show your work

x=-8,y=-48

Step-by-step explanation:

x = - 8

y = - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, y = 3x - 24 and 5x - y = 8 is given

So, First name the equation

y = 3x - 24 ...(1)

5x - y = 8 ...(2)

Now, Put the value of y in equation (2) we get

5x - y = 8

5x - (3x - 24) = 8

5x - 3x + 24 = 8

2x = 8 - 24

2x = -16

x = -16÷2

x = - 8

Here, we get the value of x in equation (1)

y = 3x - 24

y = 3(- 8) - 24

y = - 24 - 24

y = - 48

y = 3x - 24

-48 = 3(-8) - 24

-48 = -48

5x - y = 8

5(-8) -(- 48) = 8

-40 + 48 = 8

8 = 8

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S
