y = 4x - 2

3x + 2y  =  -4

Substituting the value for y from the top equation into the bottom equation:

3x + 2(4x - 2)  =  -4

Solving:

Distributing the 2:                    3x + 8x - 4  =  -4

Adding the x-terms together:  11x - 4  =  -4

Adding 4 to both sides:           11x  = 0

Dividing by 11:                            x  =  0

Substituting 0 for x into the first equation:

                                                   y  =  4(0) - 2

                                                   y  =  -2

The solution to the set of equations is:  x = 0,  y = -2.
