Answer:

x = -3, y = 3

Explanation:

multiply the equation 3y - x = 12 by 3:

=> 9y - 3x = 36

now add the two equation 9y - 3x = 36 and 3x + 4y = 3 together to eliminate x and solve for y:

=> 9y - 3x = 36

+) 4y + 3x = 3

______________

13y = 39

=> y = 3

substitute y = 3 into the original equation 3y - x = 12 to solve for x:

3(3) - x = 12

=> -x = 12 - 9

=> -x = 3

=> x = -3
