Here's x and y for each equation:

x + 7y = 8

x = -7y + 8
y = -x/7 + 8/7

3/8x + 1/3y = 17/24

x = -8y/9 + 17/9
y = -9x/8 + 17/8

Now to plug in!

x + 7y = 8
-8y/9 + 17/9 + 7y = 8
y = 1

x + 7y = 8
x + 7(-9x/8 + 17/8) = 8
x = 1

X+7y=8
3/8x + 1/3y= 17/24

Multiply top equation by -3/8

-3/8x +7y= 8
3/8x + 1/3y= 17/24

-2.625y=-3
1/3y= 17/24

-2.22917y= -2916
