"is 4 units away from the y-axis and twice as far away from the x-axis."
so it is 2*4 = 8 units away from the x axis

-------------------------------------------------------

"is 4 units away from the y-axis" and 8 units away from the x axis, so the point must be (-4,8) since we're in quadrant 2

The point is in the second quadrant: (-x,y)
and is 4 units away from the y-axis:=> x=-4
and twice as far away,2%284%29units=8 up, from the x-axis:8
so, your point is: (-4,8)
