One second.

anonymous · Answer

For example, if you put x − 2y = 24 convert that to x = 2y+24, and then put that into your second equation, 3x − 6y = 72.  What do you get then @masterlj2099

@TrojanPoem let them figure it out

@masterlj2099 Can you do the math I just told you to do?

Excuse me, I thought it was easy to figure out that the second equation is simply the first scaled with 3
3(x-2y) = 3 * 24

infinity

Yeah, but I want @masterlj2099 to do the work out instead of telling him the answer...
