You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.5x-2y+=+-24
2.-4y+=+-48+-+10x
From eq. 2,
++-4y+=+-48+-+10x
-2y=-24-5x
Substitute directly into eq. 1 and solve for x.
5x-2y+=+-24
5x%2B%28-24-5x%29=-24
5x-24-5x=-24
-24=-24
Your equations lead to a true statement.
They are the same equation (the same line) hence they have an infinite number of solutions.
Every solution of eq. 1 is a solution of eq. 2.
