Using elimination method to find y
3x - 4y = -15 (multiply 4)
4x + 3y = 5 (multiply 3)
------------------------------------
12x - 16y = -60
12x + 9y = 15
--------------------- - (substract)
-25y = -75
y = 3

Using subtitution method to find x
3x - 4y = -15
3x - 4(3) = -15
3x - 12 = -15
3x = -3
x = -1

The solution (-1,3)
