To clarify the systems of equations:


We already have opposite coefficients for y, so combine the two equations together:

Divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself:

Because we now know x, we can plug it into one of the equations.
We will plug this value into the first equation:


Add 24 to both sides.

Divide both sides by -1 to get y by itself.

Using elimination,
x = 2 and y = -30.
