Answer:
(2, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = 3x - 1 → (1)
2x + 4y = 24 → (2)
Substitute y = 3x - 1 into (2)
2x + 4(3x - 1) = 24 ← distribute and simplify left side
2x + 12x - 4 = 24
14x - 4 = 24 ( add 4 to both sides )
14x = 28 ( divide both sides by 14 )
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5
solution is (2, 5 )
