Answer:

The solution is (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, reduce 2x + 4y = 12 to x + 2y = 6, for easier calculations.

Next, substitute y - 3 for x in the other equation:

y - 3 + 2y = 6, or

3y = 9

Then y = 3. Since x = y - 3 in general, x = 3 - 3 = 0 when y = 3.

The solution is (0, 3)

Plug 8 for y

8 = 2x + 4

Subtract 4

4 = 2x

Divide by 2

x = 2

Plug 16 for y

16 = 2x + 4

Subtract by 4

12 = 2x

Divide by 2

x = 6

Substitute 20 for y

20 = 2x + 4

16 = 2x

x = 8

Substitute 22 for y

22 = 2x + 4

18 = 2x

9 = x

So the values are 2, 6, 8, 9
