Given the equations


\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(2)x+3 \\ y=2x \end{gathered}

Then, substitute (2,4) into each equation:


\begin{gathered} 4=(1)/(2)(2)+3 \\ 4=1+3 \\ 4=4 \end{gathered}

And


\begin{gathered} 4=2(2) \\ 4=4 \end{gathered}

This means that the point (2,4) is the solution to the given equations.

Answer: x = 2 and y = 4
