rewrite first equation: x = 15 - y

substitute into second equation for x: 4(15 - y) + 3y = 38

distribute and simplify: 60 - y = 38

solve: y = 22

plug back into first equation: x = -7

-OR-

multiply first equation by -3: -3x - 3y = -45

add new equation to second equation: 1x + 0y = -7 or x = -7

plug back into first equation: y = 22
