Since both equations are already solved for y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for x:

4x - 8 = 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides:

2x - 8 = 0

Add 8 to both sides:

2x = 8

Divide by 2:

x = 4

Now that we have found the value of x, we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to solve for y. Let's use y = 4x - 8:

y = 4(4) - 8
y = 16 - 8
y = 8

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 4 and y = 8.
