You can put this solution on YOUR website!
put the values x=4 and y=2 into the lefthand side of the 2 equations...to you get the answers 2 and 6? If so, the pair is THE solution (not a solution).

Looking quickly and doing some mental arithmatic..i think both sets are the solution for each of their questions - just show the working.
