That is the worst way to solve.
If the solution isn't whole numbers you can't tell what the answer is.
And even if they look like whole numbers, it doesn't mean they are.
Do each equation separately
let x=0 and find y
let y=0 and find x
draw the line and
then do the other equation
Where they lines cross is the solution(answer)
Fortunately, they all turn out whole numbers.
