Answer:

(12, 28 )

Explanation:

y = 2x + 4 → (1)

y = 3x - 8 → (2)

substitute y = 3x - 8 into (1)

3x - 8 = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 8 = 4 ( add 8 to both sides )

x = 12

substitute x = 12 into either of the 2 equations

substituting into (1)

y = 2(12) + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28

solution is (12, 28 )
