You can  put this solution on YOUR website! How do you solve and graph the following linear equations: 
 
 
8x-2y=-4 
 
 
Y-1/2x=3 
 
 
Y-x=2 
y = x+2 
----------- 
To be solved, you need 2 eqns in 2 unknowns, 3 in 3, etc.  Eqns in x & y come in pairs, not threes. 
-------------- 
To graph them, find 2 points and draw a straight line thru them. 
Y-x+2 
Pick 2 values for x and solve for y 
x...y 
0...2 --> (0,2) 
4...6 --> (4,6)
