Who knows the x and y values of

x+5y=-12

5x+4y=24

Solve for one variable x or y first. So lets solve for x. If you take the first equation x = - 12 - 5y. You then plug that into the second equation

5 (-12-5y) + 4y = 24

now you solve for y

-60 - 25y + 4y = 24

-21y=84

y=-4

Now you plug in y back into either equation and you get x=8
