Answer:
x = -2
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The way systems of equations work is that you have to substitute to solve for a variable *(only one of the 2 ways to figure this out)*
so, we will use addition property of equality in a form to add the two equations together, since +5y and -5y added together will cancel out.
that would leave
5x = -10
divide both sides by 5
x = -2
Now that we know x = -2, we can plug in -2 into one of the equations to find y.
2 ( -2) + 5y = -24
-4 + 5y = -24
-4 + 4 + 5y = -24 + 4
5y = -20
y = -4
x = -2
y = -4
