With only the amount of information given in this one equation, it's not possible to calculate
the value of 'x' or 'y'.
One more equation is required in order to calculate both.

2x + 3y = 17 3x + 4y = 24 (2x + 3x) + (3y + 4y) = (17 + 24) 5x + 7y = 41
x = 3/5 and y = 1/5
2x + 4y = 16 is the same as 4y = -2x + 16 divide both sides by 4 and you get y = (-x/2) +4 3x - 2y = 6 is the same as -2y = -3x + 6 divide both sides by 2 and you get y = (-3x/2) + 3 therfore they do not have the same solution
x = 4 and y = 0
