I) 2y = x - 4

II) 4x + 3y = 5

First, we put all the variables on the same side subtracting x from both sides of equation I:

I) 2y - x = -4

II) 3y + 4x = 5

Now, we multiply equation I by 4:

I) 8y - 4x = -16

II) 3y + 4x = 5

Then, we add equation I to equation II:

I) 8y - 4x = -16

II) 11y = -11

Therefore, we got from equation II:

y = -11/11 = -1

Applying this result on equation I, we got:

-8 - 4x = -16

4x = 8

x = 8/4 = 2

Final answer: (x,y) = (2,-1)
