The one coin is going to have tails no matter what. The other coin can get tails 0,1,2,3 or 4 times. So total you can get:
4t - 4h,
5t - 3h,
6t - 2h,
7t - 1h or
8t - 0h
These are just the possible outcomes, but they are not all equally likely.

For each flip there are 2 possibilities:
2 tails
or 1 tail and 1 head.
So if we make a tree diagram, we find the following
possibilities:
8 tails
7 tails and 1 head
6 tails and 2 heads
5 tails and 3 heads
or
4 tails and 4 heads.
