You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Graph the function y=%28x%2B2%29%2F%28x-4%29 and graph the line y=4 and look for the point(s) of intersection.

You can solve it algebraically also to verify your graphical solution.
%28x%2B2%29%2F%28x-4%29=4
x%2B2=4%28x-4%29
x%2B2=4x-16
Complete this to get x.
Once you have x, you know that y=4 so you will have the ordered pair solution.
