Solve for x and y using addition or substitution.
2x - 3y = 4 ------> -2x + 3y = -4 {multiplied top equation by -1}
2x + y = -4 -------> 2x + y = -4 {bottom equation stays the same}
4y = -8 {added the two equations together}
y = -2 {divided both sides by 4}
2x + y = -4 {bottom equation}
2x - 2 = -4 {substituted -2, in for y, into bottom equation}
2x = -2 {added 2 to both sides}
x = -1 {divided both sides by 2}
x = -1 and y = -2
