Answer:
a=-39; s=0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the System of Equations by Substitution.
First, solve one of the equations for a variable. I'll do the 2nd one because it only has one variable.
a+24=-15 -------> a=-39
Now we know what a is just plug it back into the other equation and get s.
[tex]\frac{a-3}{7s} =-8[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-39-3}{7s} =-8[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-42}{7s} =-8[/tex]
Switch the -8 and 7s
[tex]\frac{-42}{-8} =7s[/tex]
Simplify the fraction
5.25=7s
Divide by 7 to isolate the s
0.75=s
