You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+++y=x%2F2%2B5+
++++2y=x-24++ So from the first equation we have what y equals in terms of x, so plug that in for y into second equation
++++2+%28x%2F2%2B5%29+=x-24++
++++x+%2B+10+=x-24++ subtract x from each side and you get
10=-24 that can never be true so there is no solution
