    Answer: no solutions.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    get y by itself on one equation.

    -4x + y = 3 ... add 4x to each side.

    y = 4x + 3

    plug in 4x + 3 for y in the other equation.

    8x - 2y = 1

    8x - 2 (4x + 3) = 1 ... plug in the y value

    8x - 8x + 3 = 1 ... distribute the 2

    3 = 1 ... solve

    3 does not equal 1 so it is no solutions.
