Answer

$2\frac{3}{7}$

Work Step by Step

When $x=\frac{3}{4}$ and $y=-\frac{4}{7}$: $4x+y$ $=4(\frac{3}{4})+(-\frac{4}{7})$ $=(\frac{4}{1}\times\frac{3}{4})-\frac{4}{7}$ $=(\frac{1}{1}\times\frac{3}{1})-\frac{4}{7}$ $=\frac{3}{1}-\frac{4}{7}$ $=\frac{21}{7}-\frac{4}{7}$ $=\frac{17}{7}$ $=2\frac{3}{7}$
