The Coordinate Plane · Hard problem

Two number patterns make points. The xx-numbers start at 22 and add 44 each time. The yy-numbers start at 3030 and subtract 33 each time. So the first points are (2,30)(2, 30), (6,27)(6, 27), (10,24)(10, 24). Which point in the pattern has its two coordinates equal? Write it as (x, y).
