Solve the system by graphing.
\n" ); document.write( "3x + y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "3x – y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve each equation for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x+6
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Graphing y = -3x+6
\n" ); document.write( "Let x=0, then y = 6 giving you point (0,6)
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 1, then y = -3+6 = 3 giving you point (1,3)
\n" ); document.write( "Plot these two points and draw a line thru them
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-3x%2B6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "============================
\n" ); document.write( "Graphing y = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0, then y = 3*0 = 0 giving you point (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 1, then y = 3*1 = 3 giving you point (1,3)
\n" ); document.write( "Plot these two points and draw a line thru them
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C3x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "=============================
\n" ); document.write( "Graph both lines on the same coordinate system to
\n" ); document.write( "find the point of intersection:
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-3x%2B6%2C3x%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=========================================
\n" ); document.write( "Point of intersection is (1,3)
