Answer: x = 8, y = 2, coordinates (8,2)

Explanation:

2x = 4y + 8 (divide by 2 to get value of x)

x = 2y + 4

(now substitute x into the second equation to find value of y)

2y + 4 - 2y = 4

2y - 2y = 4 - 4 (divide by 2 to get value of y)

y - y = 2 - 2

y = 2

Now plug in value of "y" to get value of "x".

x - 2(2) = 4

x - 4 = 4

x = 8

Coordinates (8,2)
