Answer:
x=18
y=15
Explanation:
3x-2y=24 leave this one for a sec and come back to it
x+2y=48 solve for x
x=48-2y now take this and put it in for x in the first equation
3(48-2y)-2y=24 distribute
144-6y-2y=24 now from combine like terms and subtract 144
-8y=-120 divide
y=15 take this and put it into the equation that is solved for x
x=48-2(15)
x= 48-30
x=18
