Question 507830
x * y = 24
so
x = 24/y
.
x = 5y + 2
.
x=x
so
24/y = 5y + 2
.
cross multiply
.
24 = y(5y + 2)
24 = 5y^2 + 2y
.
5y^2 +2y - 24 = 0
.
factor
.
(5y +12)(y - 2) = 0
.
check the factoring with FOIL
.
5y^2 -10y +12y -24.
OK
.
So, y = -12/5 or 2
.
substitute to find x
.
x*y = 24
x*2 = 24
x = 12
OK
.
x*y = 24
x*-12/5 = 24
x = -10
OK
.
x = -10 when y = -12/5
x = 12 when y = 2
.
Also check the other equation.
.
One number is 2 more than 5 times the other.
.
y = -12/5
x = 5y -2
x = 5*(-12/5) + 2
x = -12 + 2 
x = -10
OK
.
y = 2
x = 5y +2
x = 10 + 2
x = 12
OK
.
So, we have two answers as shown above.
.
x = -10 when y = -12/5
x = 12 when y = 2
.
These could be shown as ordered pairs:  (-10,-12/5), (12,2)
which suggests a graph.
.
x*y = 24
y = 24/x  (red line in the following graph)
.
x = 5y + 2
5y = x -2
y = (1/5)x - 2/5  (blue line in the following graph)
