Answer

\(\boxed{x = 2, y = -1}\)

Steps

Step 1 :First, solve the first equation for y: \(y = 2x - 5\)

Step 2 :Substitute the expression for y into the second equation: \(-3x - 4(2x - 5) = -2\)

Step 3 :Simplify the equation: \(-3x - 8x + 20 = -2\)

Step 4 :Combine like terms: \(-11x + 20 = -2\)

Step 5 :Solve for x: \(x = 2\)

Step 6 :Substitute the value of x back into the expression for y: \(y = 2(2) - 5\)

Step 7 :Solve for y: \(y = -1\)

Step 8 :\(\boxed{x = 2, y = -1}\)
