Answer

$\left\{\left( 1,-2\right), \left( 4,4\right) \right\}$

Work Step by Step

Substituting $ y=x+2 $ into the 2nd equation results to \begin{array}{l} (2x-4)^2=4x\\\\ 4x^2-16x+16=4x\\\\ 4x^2-20x+16=0\\\\ x^2-5x+4=0\text{... divide both sides by $4$}\\\\ (x-4)(x-1)=0\\\\ x=\left\{ 1,4 \right\} .\end{array} Substituting $x=1$ into the 1st equation results to \begin{array}{l} y=2(1)-4\\\\ y=-2 .\end{array} Substituting $x=4$ into the 1st equation results to \begin{array}{l} y=2(4)-4\\\\ y=4 .\end{array} Hence, the solution set is $ \left\{\left( 1,-2\right), \left( 4,4\right) \right\} $
