#(0,2),(1,6),(-2,-6)" are solutions"#

Explanation:

Select values for x and substitute them into the equation. This gives the corresponding value for y and hence an ordered pair.
Here are some examples.

#x=0toy=(4xx0)+2=2to(0,2)" is a solution"#

#x=1toy=(4xx1)+2=6to(1,6)" is also a solution"#

#x=-2to(4xx-2)+2=-6to(-2,-6)" is a solution"#
