Answer: x = -2, y = 3

Explanation:

Given that,

-9x+2y = 24..................................(i)

x = 10-4y.......................................(ii)

From equation (i)

-9(10-4y) + 2y = 24 [as x = 10-4y]

=> -90 +36y + 2y = 24

=> 38y = 90 + 24

=> 38y = 114

=> y = 114/38

Therefore, y = 3

Again,

x = 10 - 4(3) [as y = 3]

=> x = 10-12

Therefore, x = -2

Here, x = -2 and y = 3
