You are given the eqaitons for two lines and asked to find the point they have in common
x=+y-6 given
x+-+y+=+-6 write in more standard form
2x+-+2y+=+-12 get ready to add to the second equation
2x+%2B+3y+=+33 given. Now subtract this equation from the one above
------------------------
+++-5y+=+-45
y+=+9
If y = 9, then x+=+9+-6+=3
The point where these two lines cross is (3, 9)
