You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equation of the first line is x+y = 56 ...(1)
\n" ); document.write( "To find the y - intercept put x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(1) => 0+y = 56
\n" ); document.write( "y=56
\n" ); document.write( "So the y intercept is ( 0, 56)
\n" ); document.write( "Next,
\n" ); document.write( "To find the x - intercept put y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(1) => x+0 = 56
\n" ); document.write( "x=56
\n" ); document.write( "So the x intercept is ( 56 , 0)
\n" ); document.write( "The equation of the first line is y/x = 3/1 ...(2)
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x
\n" ); document.write( "This line passes through origin.
\n" ); document.write( "So its x intercept is (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "and x intercept is (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "The poit of intersection is obtained by solving (1) and (2)
\n" ); document.write( "I am unable to give you the graph here

\n" ); document.write( "Put y=3x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "We get x+3x=56
\n" ); document.write( "4x=56
\n" ); document.write( "x=56/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=14
\n" ); document.write( "y=3*14
\n" ); document.write( "y=42
\n" ); document.write( "So the point of intersection is ( 14,42) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
