    Step-by-step explanation:

    3x+4=-y

    3x+4+y=-y+y (Add y to both sides)

    3x+y+4=0

    3x+y+4+-3x=0+-3x (Add - 3x to both sides)

    y+4=-3x

    y+4+-4=-3x+-4 (Add - 4 to both sides)

    y=-3x-4

    Step: Substitute-3x-4foryin2x+y=0:

    2x+y=0

    2x+-3x-4=0

    -x-4=0 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

    -x-4+4=0+4 (Add 4 to both sides)

    -x=4

    -x

    -1

    =

    4

    -1

    (Divide both sides by - 1)

    x=-4

    Step: Substitute-4forxiny=-3x-4:

    y=-3x-4

    y = (-3) (-4) - 4

    y=8 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

    Answer:

    x=-4 and y=8
