First, get the equations in slope-intercept form:
5x%2B3y+=+24 Subtract 5x from both sides.
3y+=+-5x%2B24 Now divide both sides by 3.
highlight%28y+=+-%285%2F3%29x%2B8%29 Graph this equation.
graph%28400%2C400%2C-5%2C25%2C-5%2C5%2C-%285%2F3%29x%2B8%2C%281%2F2%29x-5%29
x-2y+=+10 Add 2y to both sides.
x+=+2y%2B10 Now subtract 10 from both sides.
x-10+=+2y Finally, divide both sides by 2.

From the graph, the solution (the point of intersection) is (6, -2)
