I cant remember this would be substitution, correct? If so,
2x+8y=4
-2x -2x
-------------
8y=4-2x
------------
8 8 8

y=1/2-1/4x

substitute this into 2x+4y=20

2x+4(1/2-1/4x)=20
2x+2-x=20
-2 -2
---- ----
2x-x=18
1x=18

x=18

substitute x in the equation

2(18)+8y=4
36 + 8y=4
-36 -36
------ --------
8y=-32
---- ------
8 8

y= -4
x= 18
