y=color(red)(3-4xy=34x ....equation (1)(1)
-3x-y=23xy=2.......equation (2) (2)

substituting equation (1)(1) in equation (2)(2)

-3x-y=23xy=2
-3x-color(red)((3-4x))=23x(34x)=2
-3x color(red)(- 3 +4x)=23x3+4x=2
x=2 + 3, color(blue)(x = 5x=2+3,x=5

substituting xx in equation (1)(1) to find yy
y=3-4xy=34x
y=3-20 , color(blue)(y = -17y=320,y=17

the solutions are : color(blue)( x = 5 , y = -17x=5,y=17
