Answer:

(-(23/3), -(11/3))

Explanation:

x=y-4

2x-5y=3

=====

2x-5y=3

2(y-4)-5y=3 [Substitute (y-4) for x in the 2nd equation]

2y - 8 -5y = 3

-3y = 11

y = -(11/3)

y = -3 2/3

Use this in the 1st equation to find x:

x=y-4

x=-(11/3)-4

x = -(11/3)-(12/3)

x = -(23/3)

x = -7 2/3

See graph attached.
