Answer:

(1, 3)

Explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y - x = 2 | (equation 1)

{x + y = 4 | (equation 2)

Add equation 1 to equation 2:

{-x + y = 2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+2 y = 6 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 2:

{-x + y = 2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 1 by -1:

{x+0 y = 1 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: x = 1, y = 3
