Answer:

No solutions

Explanation:

3x+4y=-4

15x+20y=-22

——————————

-5(3x+4y)=-5(-4) multiply 1st equation by -5 so you can eliminate the variables

-15x-20y=20. Modified 1st equation

15x+20y=-22. 2nd equation

0+0=-2. Added two equations together

since 0 does not equal -2, there is no solution.
