solve and graph the following equation and interpet the result:
2x-3y=6 and 2x+y=-10.
----------------------
solve both equation for "y":
y = (2/3)x-2
y = -2x-10
-------------
Graph y = (2/3)x-2
If x = 0, y = -2
If x = 3, y = 0
Plot the two points and draw a line thru them.

-------------------
Graph y = -2x-10
If x = 0, y = -10
If x = 1, y = -12
Plot the two points and draw a line thru them.

---------------------
Graphing them on the same set of axes you might see
the lines cross at (-3,-4); this is the solution for
the system of two equations. It is the common solution.
