To solve the system, we can do it by substitution, which is following the procedure below.

0. Isolating ,x ,from the second equation.


x=-7+y

2. Replacing the isolated expression of x in the first equation.


-4\cdot(-7+y)+3y=23
28-4y+3y=23

4. Solving for y.


4y-3y=28-23
y=5

5. Replacing the value of y in the isolated expression of x.


x=-7+5
x=-2

Answer: x = -2; y = 5.
