Answer:

{x,y} = {2,9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve equation [2] for the variable  y  

 

 [2]    2y = -6x + 30

 [2]    y = -3x + 15

// Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [1]

  [1]    3x + 2•(-3x+15) = 24

  [1]    -3x = -6

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  x  

  [1]    3x = 6  

  [1]    x = 2  

// By now we know this much :

   x = 2

   y = -3x+15

// Use the  x  value to solve for  y  

   y = -3(2)+15 = 9
