Answer:

(x + y = 24 where x < y) (Ex. 3 + 21 = 24)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you can use various combinations of numbers to fulfill the requirements in the question. As long as you don't do 12 + 12, and your sum is 24, any answer will be correct. Just follow:

x + y = 24 where x < y or y < x

Answer:

(-3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using elimination:

Multiply the first equation by 8 and the second by 5 which equals

40x+56y=48

-40-60y=-60

Now you add them together

40x+(-40x)=0 so that crosses out

56y+(-60y)= -4y

48+(-60)=-12

You now have -4y=-12

Divide by -4

y=3

Now plug in y to any of the equations

5x+7(3)=6

5x+21=6

Subtract 21 from both sides

5x=-15

Divide by 5

x=-3

Your final solution is (-3,3)
