3 x + 1 y = 4 .............1
Total value
-3 x + 1 y = -2 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -1
Multiply (2) by 1
-3 x -1 y = -4
-3 x + 1 y = -2
Add the two equations
-6 x = -6
/ -6
x = 1
plug value of x in (1)
3 x + 1 y = 4
3 + y = 4
y = 4 -3
y = 1
y = 1
x= 1
y= 1
SUBSTITUTION METHOD

3 x + 1 y = 4 .............1
1 y = 4 + -3 x
/ 1 =
y = 4 + -3 x
-3 x + 1 y = -2 .....................2
Substitute y in (2)
-3 x + 1 ( 4 + -3 x ) = -2
-3 x + 4 + -3 x = -2
-3 x -3 x = -6
-6 x = -6
/ -6
x= 1
Plug the value of x in (1)
3 x + 1 y = 4
3 * 1 + 1 y = 4
3 + 1 y = 4
1 y = 1
/ 1
y= 1

It says to solve each system by substitution and elimination but I don't understand on how to do it.
Y=-3x+4
Y=3x-2

ELIMINATION
y = - 3x + 4 --- eq (i)
y = 3x - 2 ----- eq (ii)
2y = 2 --------- Adding eqs (ii) & (i)
y = , or
1 = - 3x + 4 ------- Substituting 1 for y in eq (i)
3x = 4 - 1
3x = 3
x = , or
SUBSTITUTION
Since both equations have already been solved for y, then just set them equal to each other, as follows: - 3x + 4 = 3x - 2
Solve this for x, then find y
