Answer:

(-4,-2)

Explanation:

To solve this system of equations, we can substitute the expression for y in the second equation:

5x + 2(x+2) = -24

We can then simplify and solve for x:

5x + 2x + 4 = -24

7x = -28

x = -4

We can then substitute this value of x back into the first equation to find the value of y:

y = -4 + 2

y = -2

So the solution of the system of equations is (x, y) = (-4, -2)
