Answer:

x = 6.6, y = -6.8

Explanation:

Subtract 3 x from both sides of the equation.

y = 13 - 3x

4x + 3y = 6

Replace all occurrences of y with 13 − 3 x in each equation.

-5x + 39 = 6

y = 13 - 3x

Solve for x in the first equation.

x =
(33)/(5) or 6.6

Replace all occurrences of x with 6.6 in each equation.

y =
-(34)/(5) or - 6.8

hope this helps, good luck :)
