Answer:

  • y = 8
  • x = 16

Explanation:

  • x + y = 24
  • x = 2(y)

solve, insert equation 2 into 1

  • 2(y) + y = 24
  • 3(y) = 24
  • y = 8

Find x:

x = 2(y)

x = 2(8)

x = 16

Answer:

y = 8

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations:

  • x + y = 24
  • x = 2y

Reorganize the equations:

[tex]\left \{ {{x + y = 24} \atop {x = 2y}} \right.[/tex]

[tex]\left \{ {{x + y = 24} \atop {x - 2y = 0}} \right.[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]\left \{ {{x + y = 24} \atop {x - 2y = 0}} \right.[/tex]

[tex]{ {{[x - x] + [y - (-2y)]= 24 - 0}[/tex]

[tex]{ {{x - x + y + 2y= 24}[/tex]

[tex]3y= 24}[/tex]

Divide 3 both sides:

[tex]\dfrac{3y}{3} = \dfrac{24}{3} }[/tex]

[tex]y = 8[/tex]

Substitute y in any equation:

[tex]x = 2(y)[/tex]

[tex]x = 2(8) = 16[/tex]
