Question 161095: What is the solution for the following system of linear equations?
x+6y= -4
3x-4y= 10
I have tried solving by eliminating either x or y in each equation, but cannot seem to make any sense of this!
Thank you for your help!

from 1st eqn __ x=-4-6y

substituting into 2nd eqn __ 3(-4-6y)-4y=10 __ -12-18y-4y=10 __ -22y=22 __ y=-1

substituting __ x=-4-6(-1) __ x=2
