Let's eliminate x.  Mult the first eq'n by 4, obtaining 

 -4x + 8y = 36

Now add the 2nd equation to this result:

-4x + 8y = 36
4x  + 5y  =  3
--------------------
        13y  = 39, so y = 3.

Subst. 3 for y in the 2nd equation and solve the result for x:

4x + 5(3) = 3 => 4x = -12  => x = -3.        Solution is (-3,3).
