One solution

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

For a system of linear equations in two variables, we could have three possible cases:

<h3>Case 1. No solution.</h3>

This happens when the lines are parallel and have different y-intercepts.

<h3>Case 2. One solution.</h3>

This happens when the lines intersect at a single point.

<h3>Case 1. Infinitely many solutions</h3>

This happens when the lines are basically the same having the same slope and y-intercept.

So, let's rewrite our lines in Slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ :

$Line \ 1: \\ \\ 4x-2y = 8 \\ \\ 2y=4x-8 \\ \\ y=\frac{4}{2}x-\frac{8}{2} \\ \\ y=2x-4 \\ \\ \\ Line \ 2: \\ \\ 2x + y = 2 \\ \\ y=-2x+2$

As you can see, they have different slopes and y-intercepts. So they will intersect at a single point which is the solution of the system. By using graphing tool we get that this point is (1.5, -1) as indicated in the figure below.

Let's put more details in the figure to better understand the problem:

Let's first recall the three main trigonometric functions:

$\text{ Sine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $\text{ Cosine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Adjacent Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $\text{ Tangent }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Adjacent Side}}$

For x, we will be using the Cosine Function:

$\text{ Cosine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Adjacent Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $Cosine(45^{\circ})\text{ = }\frac{\text{ x}}{\text{ 1}6}$ $(16)Cosine(45^{\circ})\text{ = x}$ $(16)(\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}})\text{ = x}$ $\text{ }\frac{16}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ x }\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ = }\frac{16\sqrt[]{2}}{2}$ $\text{ 8}\sqrt[]{2}\text{ = x}$

Therefore, x = 8√2.

For y, we will be using the Sine Function.

$\text{ Sine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $\text{ Sine }(45^{\circ})\text{ = }\frac{\text{ y}}{\text{ 1}6}$ $\text{ (16)Sine }(45^{\circ})\text{ = y}$ $\text{ (16)(}\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}})\text{ = y}$ $\text{ }\frac{16}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ x }\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ = }\frac{16\sqrt[]{2}}{2}$ $\text{ 8}\sqrt[]{2}\text{ = y}$

Therefore, y = 8√2.
