You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, get both equations into slope-intercept form to derive some points.
.
Line 1:
3x -2y = -6
-2y = -3x -6
y = (3/2)x + 3
.
Using this equation we can find to points to draw a line...
(0,3) = y-intercept
(-2,0) = x-intercept
.
Line 2:
-3x -y = -12
-y = 3x -12
y = -3x +12
.
Two points are: (0,12) and (4,0).
.

.
So, the solution is (2,6)
