-3x + y = 4
Add 3x to both sides of the equation:
y = 3x + 4

You can't 'solve' it. You have two variables and only one equation, therefore there are an infinite number of ordered pairs in the solution set. Now, if you want to rearrange it so that it is solved for one of the variables in terms of the other, you can do that. But that's not what you asked.
