You can put this solution on YOUR website! What are the intercepts of equation x+y=56 The y-intercept is at x = 0 --> (0,56)
 The x-intercept is at y = 0 -->(56,0)
 -------------------------------------
 intercept of y=3x
 That goes thru the origin, (0,0), which is both x and y intercepts
 --------------
 where would the lines intersect if you solved the system by graphing
 Sub for y into the 1st eqn
 x+y=56
 x+3x = 56
 x = 14
 y = 3x = 42
 --> (14,42)
