Using elimination:
4x - 3y = -19
3x - 2y = 24
To solve for x, we need to eliminate the y's. To do so, we must multiply the top equation by two and the bottom by three, such that:
8x - 6y = -38
9x - 6y = 72
To eliminate, we can subtract the two equations, such that:
(8x - 9x) + (-6y - (-6y)) = -38 - 72
--> -x = -110
--> x = 110
Plugging x back into one of our original equations, we see:
3(110) - 2y = 24
--> 330 - 2y = 24
--> -2y = -306
--> y = 153
Checking the answer, we plug both into the first equation, such that:
4(110) - 3(153) = -19
--> 440 - 459 = -19
--> -19 = -19
So! x = 110 and y = 153

Using the substitution method: In 3x-2y=24, solve for x. Here x = 2/3y+8. Stick that answer into the first equation 4x-3y=-19. So solve: 4(2/3y+8)-3y=-19
Y=153. Now that you know y, stick that answer in for y in either equation. Easy!
4x-3(153)=-19. Do you see how I stuck it into the 1st equation?😁 We get x=110.
So x=110 and y=153
