Given, two equations,

$2x + 3y = 11......(1)$

$2x - 4y = -24.......(2)$

Now, from (1), we have

$y=\frac{11-2x}{3}........(3)$

Substituting this in (2), we get

$2x-4\left ( \frac{11-2x}{3} \right )=-24$

$\Rightarrow 6x-44+8x=-72$

$\Rightarrow 14x=44-72$

$\Rightarrow 14x=-28$

$\Rightarrow x=-2$

Substituting this value of x in (3)

$\Rightarrow y=\left ( \frac{11-2x}{3} \right )=\frac{11-2\times(-2)}{3}=\frac{15}{3}=5$

Hence, Solution of the given equations is,

$x=-2,\:and\:y=5.$

Now,

As it satisfies $y=mx+3$ ,

$\Rightarrow 5=m(-2)+3$

$\Rightarrow 2m=3-5$

$\Rightarrow 2m=-2$

$\Rightarrow m=-1$

Hence Value of m is -1.
