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

1. Let's use the method of substitution:
From the second equation, we can solve for x in terms of y:
-x + 3y = 22
-x = -3y + 22
x = 3y - 22

Now substitute the value of x in the first equation:
5(3y - 22) - 4y = -44
15y - 110 - 4y = -44
11y - 110 = -44
11y = 66
y = 6

Now substitute the value of y back into x = 3y - 22:
x = 3(6) - 22
x = 18 - 22
x = -4

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -4 and y = 6.
