Elimination method:

The system of equations are

$\"\"$ ----------(1)

$\"\"$ ----------(2)

In the above system the coefficients of b - variable are same. $\"\"$

Subtract the equations to eliminate the b - variable and solve the equation.

$\"\"$

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ .

Divide each side by 4.

$\"\"$

The value of $\"\"$ substitute in either equation to find b.

First equation: $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Subtract 24 from each side.

$\"\"$

Divide each side by negative 3.

$\"\"$

The solution is $\"\"$ .
