| Question 734630:  I am really having trouble understanding how to solve a system of equations by graphing. Can someone please help me understand how to set up and work through these types of problems?
 I do not want to give the problems I have because they are homework, and I want to work my own homework. If you could just provide examples of how to set up, work, and graph I would be grateful.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! -3x-2y	=	6	.............1 3x-y	=	12	.............2
 equation1
 when x=	0,	y=-3(0,-3)
 when y =	0,x=-2(-2,0)
 Equation 2
 when x=	0,y=-12	(0,-12)
 when y =0,x=4(4,0)
 Plot these points and draw the lines.
 The point of intersection is the solution of the system.
 
   The solution is (2,-6)
