For this case we have the following system of equations:


y = -4x-23\\-4x-3y = 13

We solve by the substitution method:

We substitute the first equation in the second equation:


-4x-3 (-4x-23) = 13

We apply distributive property considering that
- * - = +:


-4x + 12x + 69 = 13\\8x + 69 = 13

We subtract 69 from both sides of the equation:


8x = 13-69\\8x = -56

We divide by 8 on both sides of the equation:


x = \frac {-56} {8}\\x = -7

We look for the value of the variable y:


y = -4 (-7) -23\\y = 28-23\\y = 5

Thus, the solution of the system is
(x, y): (-7,5)

Answer:


(x, y): (-7,5)
