Answer:

(- 1, - 1 )

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 4x + 3 → (1)

x + y = - 2 → (2)

Substitute y = 4x + 3 into (2)

x + 4x + 3 = - 2, that is

5x + 3 = - 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

5x = - 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 1

Substitute x = - 1 into (1)

y = 4(- 1) + 3 = - 4 + 3 = - 1

Thus x- value is - 1 and y- value is - 1
