1. **Problem 6:** Solve the system using substitution or elimination method.
Given:
$$6x + 4y = 62$$
$$3x + 4y = 47$$
2. We will use the elimination method here because both equations have the same coefficient for $y$.
3. Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate $y$:
$$\cancel{6x} + 4y - \cancel{3x} - 4y = 62 - 47$$
$$3x = 15$$
4. Solve for $x$:
$$x = \frac{15}{3} = 5$$
5. Substitute $x=5$ into the second equation to find $y$:
$$3(5) + 4y = 47$$
$$15 + 4y = 47$$
6. Solve for $y$:
$$4y = 47 - 15$$
$$4y = 32$$
$$y = \frac{32}{4} = 8$$
7. **Answer for problem 6:** $x=5$, $y=8$

8. **Problem 4:** Solve the system using substitution or elimination method.
Given:
$$2x + y = -3$$
$$2x + 3y = 3$$
9. We will use the substitution method here.
10. From the first equation, express $y$ in terms of $x$:
$$y = -3 - 2x$$
11. Substitute this expression for $y$ into the second equation:
$$2x + 3(-3 - 2x) = 3$$
12. Simplify and solve for $x$:
$$2x - 9 - 6x = 3$$
$$\cancel{2x} - 9 - \cancel{6x} = 3$$
$$-4x - 9 = 3$$
13. Add 9 to both sides:
$$-4x = 3 + 9$$
$$-4x = 12$$
14. Divide both sides by $-4$:
$$x = \frac{12}{-4} = -3$$
15. Substitute $x = -3$ back into the expression for $y$:
$$y = -3 - 2(-3) = -3 + 6 = 3$$
16. **Answer for problem 4:** $x = -3$, $y = 3$
