The given equations are:

3x - 4y = -14

-3x + 2y = -2
--------------------
Adding the two equation we solve for y:

-2y = -16

y = 16/2

y = 8

Now by back substitution, we get:


3x - 4y = -14

3x - 4(8) = -14

3x - 32 = -14

3x = -14 + 32

3x = 18

x = 18%2F3

x = 6


Therfore, x = 6 and y = 8

Thus the solution.
