Question

solve the system by substitution method

-x + 8y = 16
3x - 24y = 48

Answer 1

I'd simplify the first equation for x = something. 8y-16 = x
Then, in the second equation substitute the 8y-16 in where you see x.

Answer 2

3(8y-16) - 24y = 48 solve this for y...then you can find x

Answer 3

This problem has a unique issue...
24y - 48 -24y = 48
-48 = 48 This statement is false, so there is no solution. The lines are parallel.
