Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to solve for x first, then y.

Plug the second equation (y = 2x - 5) into the first equation (-3x - 4y = -2).  This will give you -3x - 4(2x - 5) = -2.  Solve for x.

-3x - 4(2x - 5) = -2

-3x - 8x + 20 = -2

-11x = -22

x = 2

Now, you can plug in the x-value into the second equation.

y = 2(2) - 5

y = 4 - 5

y = -1
