Franco:
3x+2y=19
Caryl:
2x+4y=24

now use elimination

-2(3x+2y=19)
1(2x+4y=24)
=
-6x-4y=-38
2x+4y=24
add them together
which equals -4x=-14
divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4=-14/-4
x=7/2


we found x, so we subsitute it into the the original equation

3x+2y=19
3(7/2)2y=19
2y+21/2=19
-21/2 -21/2
2y=17/2
divide by 2 on both sides
2y/2= 17/2/2
y=17/4

so x= 7/2 and y= 17/4
