Step 1.1

Replace all occurrences of $x$ in $2 x + y = 4$ with $1$ .

$2 (1) + y = 4$

$x = 1$

Step 1.2

Simplify the left side.

Step 1.2.1

Multiply $2$ by $1$ .

$2 + y = 4$

$x = 1$

$2 + y = 4$

$x = 1$

$2 + y = 4$

$x = 1$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Step 2.1

Subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 4 - 2$

$x = 1$

Step 2.2

Subtract $2$ from $4$ .

$y = 2$

$x = 1$

$y = 2$

$x = 1$

Step 3

Solve the system of equations.

$y = 2 x = 1$

Step 4

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.

$(1, 2)$

Step 5

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:

$(1, 2)$

Equation Form:

$x = 1, y = 2$
