Answer:

There are an infinite number of solutions.

Explanation:

An equation with 2 unknowns give an infinite amount of solutions, here is just one of the many:

Let y= 3 ( y can be any number)

(3) + 1 = -4x

4 = -4x

x = -4/4

x= -1

(x;y) = (-1;3)

Generally x and y can be any number, just let x or y be any number, then find the other variable based on the value of the number u assumed.
