I don't know how to do it because there is no "y=" or "x=" and it get confused on these. would you take (3x+2y=12) and multiply that by negative 2... and then take (2x+5y=8) and multiply that by positive 3?.... i don't know.. but if thats correct, I don't know what to do next.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve the system of equations:
1)
2)
Your suggestion is a good one.
1a)
1a)
2a)
2a)
Now add equations 1a) and 2a)
1a)
2a)
------------------------
3) so y = 0 Now substitute this value for y into either of the two original equations and solve for x.
1) Set y = 0 Divide both sides by 3.
The solution is: (4, 0)
Here's the graph showing the intersection (solution).
