Answer:

The solution is (2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, multiply the second equation by -5 and then add through.

5x - 4y = 18

-5x - 15y = 20

------------------

-19y = 38

y = -2

Now that we have the value of y, we can solve for x.

x + 3y = -4

x + 3(-2) = -4

x - 6 = -4

x = 2
