Answer :

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
