You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Identify, or Solve? If you mean \"identify\", then this would be a point, (x,y) being the intersection of the two lines.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two equations are well suited for immediately starting with the Elimination Method, but since you asked, you probably do not yet know that method.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try substitution:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=6-3y\" from first equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4%286-3y%29-3y=4\" using substitution for x into the second equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"24-12y-3y=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-15y%2B24=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-15y=4-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15y=24-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15y=20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=20%2F15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=4%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=6-3%284%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=6-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
