Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

Here you're given a system of two linear equations. It seems as though your goal is to solve this system for x and y, using the substitution method.

Start by setting y = -3x + 4 equal to y = 3x - 2. This eliminates y. But it leaves you with 4 = -2, which is always false. Thus, the given system has no solution. If you were to graph the two lines, you'd see that they are parallel and never intersect.
