Answer:

z = -1.8, y = 10.2

Explanation:

- 2z -2y = -24 (EQ 1)

3z - 2y = -33 (EQ 2)

Change one of the equations to it's opposite (Turning a negative number to a positive/or the other way around)

Let's target the equation that can leave us with the simplest question to solve

-2z + -2y = -24

-3z + 2y = 33

-5z = 9

(Dividing and switching the negative sign over)

z = -1.8

Plug in Z to solve for y.

-2(-1.8) - 2y = -24

3.6 - 2y = -24

-2y = -20.4

y = 10.4
