Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

2x + 4y = 24

y = -3

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Substitute in y:                     2x + 4(-3) = 24
  2. Multiply:                                2x - 12 = 24
  3. Isolate x term:                      2x = 36
  4. Isolate x:                               x = 18
