"I need help solving this problem, it involves solving systems of equations by substitution, it is y = -2

y = -2
4x - 3y = 18

4x - 3(-2) = 18 {substituted -2, in for y, into bottom equation}
4x + 6 = 18 {multiplied -3 by -2}
4x = 12 {subtracted 6 from both sides}
x = 3 {divided both sides by 4}

x = 3 and y = -2
