There are several ways to solve linear equations: by substitution, addition, graphing/plotting. Let's graph them; first solve each equation for y. The first equation becomes and the second becomes . Looking at the following graph, you see they intersect at (4,2), which is the solution. To check that solution, substitute that ordered pair for x and y in both original equations; you should get two true statements.
