I presume you want to solve this system of equations. Just a suggestion: It really helps when the tutors don't have to guess at what kind of help you need, and specifying what you need to accomplish isn't really that difficult.

3x%2B2y=8
y=4

This system lends itself to solution by substitution because one of the equations gives the value of y directly, so:

3x%2B2%284%29=8

3x%2B8=8

3x%2B8-8=8-8

3x=0

x=0

So the solution set is the ordered pair (0,4)
