Answer:
x = 18 , y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - 2y = 24 → (1)
x + 2y = 48 → (2)
Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the y- term
4x + 0 = 72
4x = 72 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 18
Substitute x = 18 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (2)
18 + 2y = 48 ( subtract 18 from both sides )
2y = 30 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 15
