Solve the following system:

{y = x+3

y = 4 x+12

Substitute y = x+3 into the second equation:

{y = x+3

x+3 = 4 x+12

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = x+3

x+3 = 4 x+12

Subtract 4 x+3 from both sides:

{y = x+3

-3 x = 9

Divide both sides by -3:

{y = x+3

x = -3

Substitute x = -3 into the first equation:

{y = 0

x = -3
