Answer:

Explanation:
Given equations:
6x - 3y = 24 ----------------(1)
8x + y = 42 -----------------(2)
Take Eq. (1)
6x - 3y = 24
- Take 3 as a common factor
3(2x - y) = 24
2x - y = 24/3
2x - y = 8 ----------------(3)
8x + y + 2x - y = 42 + 8
8x + 2x = 50
10x = 50
x = 50/10
x = 5
2(5) - y = 8
10 - y = 8
10 = 8 + y
- Subtract 8 from both sides
10 - 8 = y
2 = y
y = 2
Solution set:
{(x,y)} = {(5,2)}
