by substatution
x+y=5, x=5-y
24(5-y)+28y=132
120-24y+28y=132
4y=12
y=3
3*28=84
2*24=48
84+48=$132

You can't solve it. There are 2 variables, x and y,
so you need 2 equations to solve.
You wrote
. I think you mistyped & actually
meant
That's your other equation
Multiply both sides of this equation by

Now subtract it from the other equation

and, since
