Adding the two equations:
(-3x - 4y) + (-2x + 4y) = (-18) + 8
-3x - 2x - 4y + 4y = -10
-5x = -10
Dividing both sides by -5:
x = 2
Substituting x = 2 into the second equation:
-2(2) + 4y = 8
-4 + 4y = 8
4y = 12
Dividing both sides by 4:
y = 3
Therefore, the solution to the system is (x, y) = (2, 3).
