Answer:

Then the solution is (-1/4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by eliminating the fractional coefficient 1/4:  multiply all 3 terms in the second equation by 4.  This results in equation (b), below:

4x - 3y = -10   (a)

4x = y -4         (b)  

Substitute y - 4 for 4x in equation (a):

y - 4 - 3y = -10

Combining like terms, we get -2y = -10 + 4, or -2y = -6, or y = 3.

Since x = (1/4)y - 1, if y = 3, then x = (1/4)(3) - 1, or x = 3/4 - 1, or x = -1/4

Then the solution is (-1/4, 3)
