How to solve for X and Y. The problem is as follows
-3x-4y%2B2=7x%2B9y-8
Solve for x
-3x-4y%2B2=7x%2B9y-8……..move all terms with x value to the right, and rest to the left
-4y-9y%2B2%2B8=7x%2B3x……..
-13y%2B10=10x……..

or 10x=-13y%2B10……..divide both sides by 10

x=-%2813%2F10%29y%2B1……..

2.
-3x-4y%2B2=7x%2B9y-8
Solve for y
-3x-4y%2B2=7x%2B9y-8……..move all terms with y value to the right, and rest to the left
-3x-7x%2B2%2B8=9y+%2B+4y……..
-10x%2B10=+13y……..divide both sides by 13
-10x%2F13%2B10%2F13=+13y%2F13……..
-%2810%2F13%29x%2B10%2F13=+y……..

Or
y+=-%2810%2F13%29x%2B10%2F13……..
