Greetings!

We can substitute the variables, so we only have to solve for one, per eqaution

x=4y
Therefore...

3x-2y=20
Is also equal to..

3(4y)-2y=20

Solve for y.
Combine Like terms.

12y-2y=20

10y=20
Divide both sides by 10.

(10y)/10=(20)/10
Simplify.

y=2

Now we can use the value of y to solve the other equation.

x=4y
Is also equal to...

x=4(2)

Solve for x.
Combine like terms.

x=8

The answer would be 8,2

Hope this helps.
