How do you graph this linear equation
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=12
\n" ); document.write( "8x+6y=86
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "6x+6y=72
\n" ); document.write( "8x+6y=86
\n" ); document.write( "subtract
\n" ); document.write( "-2x=-14
\n" ); document.write( "x=7
\n" ); document.write( "y=12-x
\n" ); document.write( "y=5
\n" ); document.write( "point of intersection: (7,5)
\n" ); document.write( "Both equations are straight lines that intersect at (7,5)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
