First, mult. the 1st equation by -2; you'll get -4x - 2y = 10
Add this result to the 2nd eqn:                       3x + 2y = 4
                                                                    ---------------------
                         Combining like terms:            -x          = 14, so x = -14.

Now substitute -14 for x in the equation 3x + 2y = 4.

We get -42 + 2y = 4, so 2y = 46 and y = 23.  Answer:  (-14, 23).
