Answer:
Equations are :---
[tex]3x - 2y = 24............... (i) \\ x + 2y = 48..................(ii)[/tex]
By adding the both equations we get,
[tex](3x - 2y) + (x + 2y) = 24 + 48 \\ 4x = 72 \\ x = \frac{72}{4} \\ \boxed{ x = 18} \\ [/tex]
Putting the value of x in equation (ii) we get
[tex]18 + 2y = 48 \\ 2y = 48 - 18 \\ 2y = 30 \\ y = \frac{30}{2} \\ \boxed{y = 15}[/tex]
Therefore, x=18 and y=15 is the right answer.
