Answer:
Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = -2x + 1
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] (-2x+1) + 4x = -3
[1] 2x = -4
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] 2x = - 4
[1] x = - 2
// By now we know this much :
y = -2x+1
x = -2
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = -2(-2)+1 = 5
Solution :
{y,x} = {5,-2}
