First graph y=x%2B2

Graph of y=x%2B2


-----------------------------------------


Now graph y=-2x%2B2

Graph of y=-2x%2B2



============================================

Graph the two equations together


Graph of y=x%2B2 (red). Graph of y=-2x%2B2 (green)



From the graph, we see that the two lines intersect at (0,2)


So the solutions are x=0 and y=2
