    x = 0, y = 4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Solve the following system:

    {y = 4 - 3 x | (equation 1)

    x + 2 y = 8 | (equation 2)

    Express the system in standard form:

    {3 x + y = 4 | (equation 1)

    x + 2 y = 8 | (equation 2)

    Subtract 1/3 * (equation 1) from equation 2:

    {3 x + y = 4 | (equation 1)

    0 x + (5 y) / 3 = 20/3 | (equation 2)

    Multiply equation 2 by 3/5:

    {3 x + y = 4 | (equation 1)

    0 x+y = 4 | (equation 2)

    Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

    {3 x+0 y = 0 | (equation 1)

    0 x+y = 4 | (equation 2)

    Divide equation 1 by 3:

    {x+0 y = 0 | (equation 1)

    0 x+y = 4 | (equation 2)

    Collect results:

    Answer: {x = 0, y = 4
