Solving Linear Systems by Graphing~!*!

How to Solve Linear Systems by Graphing:

Step #1: The first thing you do is
list the 2 equations
Equation 1: x+y=3
Equation 2:
2x-3y=1
Step #2: Then you put the equations
in "y equals" form which is mathmatically
known as Slope-Intercept form. This will
make the equations easier to graph.
Equation 1: x+y=3
*subtract
x from both sides
now the equation is
y=3-x
Equation 2:
2x-3y=1
*subtract
2x from both sides
you now have
-3y=1-2x
*then divide by -3 on both
sides you now have
y=-(1/3)-(2/3)x
Step #3: Then you just have to graph
the 2 equations.

*THE SOLUTION IS (8,-5)
