Answer 1

To solve the system of equations:

Equation 1: 8x + 5y = 24

Equation 2: y = -4x

We can substitute Equation 2 into Equation 1 to eliminate the variable y:

8x + 5(-4x) = 24

8x - 20x = 24

-12x = 24

x = 24 / -12

x = -2

Now substitute the value of x into Equation 2 to find y:

y = -4(-2)

y = 8

Therefore the solution to the system of equations is x = -2 and y = 8.
