x%2By+=14,
2x%2B+y+=24

(7, 7)........x%2By+=7%2B7=14
(3, 11)......x%2By+=3%2B11=14
(6, 12).......2x%2B+y+=2%2A6%2B12=12%2B12=24
(10, 4) ......x%2By+=10%2B4=14

Substitute the of one of the ordered pairs for in each of the equations. Substitute the value of that same ordered pair for in each of the equations. If the result is two true statements, then the ordered pair is a solution of the system. Repeat for each of the other ordered pairs. One of them is a solution, and the others are not.
