    4x + 3y = 0

    2x + y = - 2

    take 2x and subtract to the side with - 2

    it'll look like this: y = - 2x - 2

    plug that equation in where the y is in the other equation.

    it'll look like this: 4x + 3 (-2x - 2) = 0

    which you multiply 3 and the - 2x and the - 2

    which the equation would be: 4x - 6x - 6=0

    put together like terms: - 2x - 6=0

    add the 6 to the side with the zero: - 2x = 6

    divide both sides by - 2 which x = - 3

    to get y you plug in the answer for x (-3)

    2 (-3) + y = - 2

    so it'd then be - 6 + y = - 2

    add the - 6 to the side with - 2

    y = - 2 + 6

    y = 4

    so your complete answer is (-3, 4)
