      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y=152 x=y+28
 =======
 x+y = 152
 x-y = 28
 ---------- Add
 2x = 180
 x = 90
 ---
 x - y = 28
 y = 62
 ===========
 To graph:
 They're both straight lines so you need 2 points.
 Pick 2 values for y, find x, or vice versa
 Plot the 2 points, draw a line thru them.
 ---------
 The intersection of the 2 lines is the solution of the system.
