Answer

$x=4, y=0$

Work Step by Step

$$\begin{cases} y=-x+4\\ y=2x-8 \end{cases}$$ $y$ is expressed as a function of $x$ in both equations, so we equate them and solve the simple linear equation to find $x$: $$2x-8=-x+4$$ $$2x+x=8+4$$ $$3x=12$$ $$x=12:3=4$$ Determine $y$: $$y=-4+4=0$$ The solution is: $$\begin{cases} x=-4\\ y=0 \end{cases}$$
