Answer:

$x=3\\y=-4$

Explanation:

1. You can solve this system of equations by applying the Method of elimination.

2. You can add both equations to cancel the variable
and the solve for
:

$4x=12\\x=3$

3. Substitute this value into one of the original equations:

$6(3)+y=14\\18+y=14\\y=-4$

4. Therefore, the solution of the system of equations is the point (3,-4).
