Answer:
x=4, y=16
Step-by-step explanation:
Since y is alone on one side of both equations, that means that the equations are equal.
[tex]2x+8=3x+4\\[/tex]
Put like terms on the same side of the equations. I put the numbers on the left and the Xs on the right. To do this subtract 4 from both sides. You will get:
[tex]2x+4=3x[/tex]
Next, I subtracted the 2x from both sides;
[tex]4=x[/tex]
For y, just substitute the x in the equation with 4. Will work for either equation.
[tex]y= 3(4)+4\\y= 12+4\\y=16[/tex]
Or
[tex]y=2x+8\\y=2(4)+8\\y=8+8\\y=16[/tex]
Therefore, y=16
