Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define System

4x + 2y = -1

3x + 4y = 3

Step 2: Rewrite System

4x + 2y = -1

[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply -2 on both sides:                     -2(4x + 2y) = 2[Distributive Property] Distribute -2 on both sides:                                        -8x - 4y = 2

Step 3: Redefine Systems

-8x - 4y = 2

3x + 4y = 3

Step 4: Solve for x

Combine equations:                                                                                         -5x = 5[Division Property of Equality] Divide -5 on both sides:                                x = -1

Step 5: Solve for y

Substitute in x [Original Equation]:                                                                  3(-1) + 4y = 3Multiply:                                                                                                             -3 + 4y = 3[Addition Property of Equality] Add 3 on both sides:                                     4y = 6[Division Property of Equality] Divide 4 on both sides:                                  y = 3/2
