Please give me three solutions for making a graph on the equation 2x+2y=12
\n" ); document.write( "

Reduce the equation by factoring out GCF, 2, to get: x + y = 6
\n" );
document.write( "1) Substitute 0 for y, and solve for x to get the x-intercept. This is one solution.
\n" );
document.write( "2) Substitute 0 for x, and solve for y to get the y-intercept. This is another solution.
\n" );
document.write( "3) Substitute a SMALL VALUE, say 1, for y, and solve for x to get a 3rd set of coordinates, and a 3rd solution.
\n" );
document.write( "You actually DON'T NEED to plot 3 points for a graph, just 2. \n" );
