Solve the simultaneous equations: 3x + y = -4 and 3x - 4y = 6
First subtract the first equation from the second getting:0 - 5y = 10-5y = 10Then divide both sides by (-5)y = -2Then substitute the y value of (-2) back into the first equation giving:3x + (-2) = -43x = -2x = -2/3And then check by substituting both values into the other equation that you were given.3(-2/3) -4(-2) = -2 +8=6There for the answer is, x=-2/3 and y=-2
