4y-x=-24
3x=12y+72
===============
The problem is not substitution or elimination.
Those are 2 methods you can use to solve any of this type of problem.
-----------
4y-x=-24 --> x = 4y + 24
3x=12y+72 /3 --> x = 4y + 24
----
It's the same eqn twice.
Dependent, no unique solution.
Infinite # of solutions.
