Answer:
x=-2 , y = 6

Step-by-step explanation: Use substitution to solve this system because the x value for y is given. Plug it into the second equation.


x+(-3x) = 4

Then add like terms,


-2x = 4

Which means,


x=-2

Plug it into the first equation to solve for y


y= -3(-2)

Which means,


y=6
