i would ask someone on open study. they would type the question in for me into wolfram alpha and hit enter. then i would read the solution and see that $x=-1,y=2$ http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=4x+%2B+3y+%3D+2%2C3x+%2B+2y+%3D+1

lol did you make wolfram? taking the credits, eh?

this probably wil http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=4x+%2B+3y+%3D+2%2C3x+%2B+2y+%3D+1l not go over so well with your teacher, so maybe we try this 1) multiply the first equation by 2 2) multiply the second equation by -3 we get $$8x+6y=4$$ $$-9x-6y=-3$$ 3) add them together and get $$-x=1$$ 4) solve for $x$ get $x=-1$

^haha

I reccomend using subtraction here. Multiply the top one by 2 and the bottom by -3, and then solve by adding the equations together. The y's should cancel out.
