$x=4$
$y=-4$

From the given equation
$5x-y=24" "$ first equation
$5x+6y=-4" "$ second equation

after performing subtraction

$-7y=28$

$y=-4$

Use $5x-y=24" "$ first equation and $y=-4$ to solve for x

$5x-(-4)=24" "$ first equation

$5x+4=24$

$5x=20$

$x=4$

God bless...I hope the explanation is useful.
