Answer:

the value of the smallest number is 3

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the smaller number is shown below:

Given that

y = 4x + 2

y = 2x + 8

Now equate these two equations

4x + 2 = 2x + 8

4x - 2x = 8 - 2

2x = 6

x = 3

Hence, the value of the smallest number is 3

The same is to be considered
