Question 523549: Hi everyone, I'm stuck on this problem, if someone could I help I would really appreciate it. Thank you :)
The difference between three times a number and another is 2. Their sum is 6. Write a system of equations. Then solve for the numbers by graphing the equations.

I can graph the equation, I'm stuck on figuring out the equation. Thanks!

The difference between three times a number and another is 2. Their sum is 6. Write a system of equations. Then solve for the numbers by graphing the equations.
---------------
3x - y = 2
x + y = 6
--------- Add
4x = 8 etc
