To solve the system of equations:
- \(3x - 5y = 2\) (Equation 1)
- \(-x + 4y = 4\) (Equation 2)
We can use the substitution or elimination method. Here, I will use the elimination method.
First, we can multiply Equation 2 by 3 to align the \(x\) coefficients:
\[ 3(-x + 4y) = 3(4) \implies -3x + 12y = 12 \quad (Equation 3) \]
Now we have:
- \(3x - 5y = 2\) (Equation 1)
- \(-3x + 12y = 12\) (Equation 3)
Now we can add Equation 1 and Equation 3:
\[ (3x - 5y) + (-3x + 12y) = 2 + 12 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ (3x - 3x) + (-5y + 12y) = 14 \]
\[ 0 + 7y = 14 \]
Now, isolate \(y\):
\[ 7y = 14 \implies y = 2 \]
Now that we have \(y\), we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to find \(x\). We'll use Equation 2:
\[ -x + 4(2) = 4 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ -x + 8 = 4 \]
Now, isolate \(x\):
\[ -x = 4 - 8 \]
\[ -x = -4 \implies x = 4 \]
Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:
\[ \boxed{(4, 2)} \]
