To solve this system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination.

First, let's solve the second equation for x:
-x + 3y = 22
x = 3y + 22

Now we can substitute this expression for x into the first equation:
5(3y + 22) - 4y = -44
15y + 110 - 4y = -44
11y + 110 = -44
11y = -154
y = -14

Now that we have found the value of y, we can find the value of x by substituting y back into one of the original equations. Let's use the second equation:
-x + 3(-14) = 22
-x - 42 = 22
-x = 64
x = -64

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -64, y = -14.
