You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You probably can't remember because they can't be "solved"
You have one equation with 2 variables.
There are an infinite number of solutions.
Pick any number for x and solve for y
This is a straight line equation aka linear equation.
You can graph it, find the slope and intercepts but you can't "solve' it.
