Answer:

y = 0

x = 8

Explanation:

subtract second equation from first one

3x - 6y - (3x - y) = 24 - 24 the - sign in front of the parenthesis effects the inside expressions

3x - 6y - 3x + y = 24 - 24 add/subtract like terms

-5y = 0 and so y = 0

to find the value of x we can use this information

3x - y = 24 since y = 0

3x = 24 divide both sides by 3

x = 8
