Answer:
1
Explanation:
The ratio of the x coefficient to the y-coefficient is different in each equation, so the equations are for lines of different slope, so there is one solution.
__
The solution can be found by subtracting the second equation from the first:
(x +4y) -(x +2y) = (8) -(4)
2y = 4
y = 2
x + 2(2) = 4 . . . . substitute into the second equation
x = 0 . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
The one solution is (x, y) = (0, 2).
