#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.
