Answer:

(-1, 3)

Explanation:

replace the occurrences of y in the equation

(x + y = 2) with x + 4

x + x + 4 = 2

2x + 4 = 2

solving for x in the first equation

2x = 2 - 4

2x = -2

2x/2 = -2/2

x = -1

replacing all occurrences of x in y = x + 4 with -1

y = (-1) + 4

y = 3

therefore the pairs are (-1, 3)

Hope it helps!
