Answer:
x=-5 & y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Solve y=x+3 for y:
y=x+3
Step 2: Substitute x+3 for y in 3x-4y =-7:
3x-4y=-7
3x-4(x+3)=-7
-x-12=-7 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
-x-12+12=-7+12 (Add 12 to both sides)
-x=5
-x/1=-5/-1 (Divide both sides by -1)
Step 3: Substitute -5 for x in y=x+3:
y=x+3
y=-5+3
y=-2 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
x=-5 and y=-2
