Answer:


(-3, 5)

Explanation:

Isolate x from the first equation:


x=(11-4y)/(3)

Now, substitute it in the second equation:


\begin{bmatrix}2\cdot (11-4y)/(3)+y=-1\end{bmatrix}

This gives you:


\begin{bmatrix}(22-5y)/(3)=-1\end{bmatrix}

So, you conclude: y = 5

Next, we substitute y = 5 into
x=(11-4y)/(3)

So, we get:


x=(11-4\cdot \:5)/(3)

Then:


x=-3

Finally, we have to put it into the coordinate form:


(-3, 5)
