I just need help with figuring out which method to use for the below equation(s) and getting to the answer.
Solve graphically.
5x+y=-1
3x+6y=12

2x+y=-7
5x+5y=-10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

1.  They say "solve graphically" . . . .


2.  If you still want to solve algebraically then

    a) Use substitution method for the first sydtem.

    b) For the second system you may use either Subst or Elimination method.
       You may first cancel the factor 5 in both sides of the second equation.

Do not struggle !

Quickly solve everything by both methods !!
