The difference between three times a number and another number is 2. Their sum is 6. Write a system of equations. Then solve for the numbers by graphing the equations.
3x-y=2
-y=2-3x
y=-2+3x
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y=-2%2B3x%29+
3x+y=6
y=-3x+6
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y=-3x%2B6%29+
y=-2+3x and y=-3x+6
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y=-2%2B3x%2C+y=-3x%2B6%29+
