You can put this solution on YOUR website! GRAPH THE EQUATION y = 1/2x + 3/2 2) y = x + 2
 x + 2y = 16 x= __________ y=_______
 3) 2x = 5y - 3
 6x - 15y = -3
 4) 5X - 2Y = 36
 3X + 4Y = 6
 Since I didn't understand what you wrote, I answered some of the problems as best as I can in what you meant.
 
 Step 1.  Just a quick note.  When you have an equation just plot two points x=0 and find y using the equation and x=0 and find x using the equation.   Then draw a line between two point.
 Graph  y = 1/2x + 3/2
 
 
 | Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc |  | Equation  describes a sloping line. For any equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is
  . X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x =  c/a. 1.5/-0.5 = -3.Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 1.5/1 = 1.5.Slope is --0.5/1 = 0.5. Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.5*x+1.5.

 Step 2.  The following will solve  y = x + 2
 
 x + 2y = 16 x= __________ y=_______.  Rewrite y=x+2 as -x+y=2

  We'll use substitution. After moving 1*y to the right, we get: 
  , or  . Substitute that into another equation:
 
  and simplify: So, we know that y=6. Since  , x=4.
