Answer:

The solution for the system of equations is:

x = 0

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the pair of equations:

2x + 4y = 8 ........................................................(1)

x = 3y - 6 ............................................................(2)

Substitute the expression of x in (2) into (1)

2(3y - 6) + 4y = 8

6y - 12 + 4y = 8

6y + 4y = 8 + 12

10y = 20

y = 20/10 = 2 ......................................................(3)

Substitute the value of y in (3) into (2)

x = 3(2) - 6

= 6 - 6

= 0

Therefore,

x = 0, and y = 2
