anonymous · Answer

double check and make sure your second equation is typed properly.

anonymous · Answer

if it is correct you simply solve the bottom equation for y and plug that value into the first equation's "y"

anonymous · Answer

my problem is right now i need help please

anonymous · Answer

how ?

anonymous · Answer

add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 24, that will isolate 'y'

anonymous · Answer

I don't see it can you please show me

anonymous · Answer

$$-6+24y=15$$
add 6 to both sides
$$24y = 21$$
divide both sides by 24$$y = \frac{ 21 }{ 24}$$
which reduces to $$y = \frac{ 7 }{ 8 }$$

anonymous · Answer

now you take that value and plug it into your other equation, like so:
$$2x-8*(\frac{ 7 }{ 8})=5$$

anonymous · Answer

can you take it from there?
