Question 499303: If a Wife and husband together makes 76000 and the wife makes 4000 more then the husnband
I know that both the equations are.. x+y=76,000 and y=x+4,000 but how do u graph it to find how much the incomes are? what are the seperate incomes

Answer by chessace(471) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Graph (using units of at least 1000)
y=x+4000 (you already had), and
y=76000-x (you nearly had).
They will cross at a point (x,y) which is the solution.
