4x + 2y = 11
x - 2 = -2y
First you have to get a variable alone in one of the equations.

x - 2 = -2y
   +2    +2
--------------
x = -2y + 2
Next you substitute -2y +2 for x in the second equation.

4(-2y + 2) + 2y = 11
Distribute. 

-8y + 8 + 2y = 11
Combine like terms.

-6y + 8 = 11
Get the variable (y) by itself.

-6y + 8 = 11
       -8    -8
--------------------
-6y = 3
Finally get y by itself.

-6y = 3
-----   ------
-6      -6

Y = 0.5

Now to get x you plugin the answer for y.

x - 2 = -2y
x - 2 = -2(0.5)
x - 2 = -1
   +2     +2
x = 1

(1, 0.5) Is your ordered pair. :D
