x+2y=4		 Find the point of intersection for each pair of lines. 
3x-2y=4

To find the point of intersection for the pair of lines:

1. \( x + 2y = 4 \)
2. \( 3x - 2y = 4 \)

We can solve this system of linear equations either by substitution or elimination. Let's use **elimination**:

### Step 1: Add the two equations.
We can add the two equations to eliminate \( y \):

\[
(x + 2y) + (3x - 2y) = 4 + 4
\]

Simplifying:

\[
x + 3x + 2y - 2y = 8
\]

\[
4x = 8
\]

### Step 2: Solve for \( x \).
Divide both sides by 4:

\[
x = \frac{8}{4} = 2
\]

### Step 3: Substitute \( x = 2 \) back into one of the original equations to solve for \( y \). 
We'll use the first equation \( x + 2y = 4 \):

\[
2 + 2y = 4
\]

Now subtract 2 from both sides:

\[
2y = 2
\]

Divide by 2:

\[
y = 1
\]

### Final Answer:
The point of intersection is \( (2, 1) \).
