Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equation given is a simultaneous equation
7x + 2y = 24
...... 1
2x + 1 = y ......... 2
Rearrange
7x + 2y = 24 .... *1
| 2x - y = -1 ..... * 2
Use elimination method
7x + 2y = 24
4x - 2y = -2
add
7x+4x = 24-2
11x = 22
x = 22/11
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into 2
2x+1 = y
y 2(2)+1
y = 4+1
y = 5
Hence x = 2, y = 5
The system of equation is a simultaneous equation
