You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First each equation must be solved for y, then graph the equations.
3x-6y=9
6y=9-3x
y=%28-1%2F2%29x%2B3%2F2+
x-2y=3
-2y=-x+3
y=%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2+
Then graph
+graph%28300%2C300%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C%28-1%2F2%29x%2B3%2F2%2C%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2%29
Your solution is the intersection of the two lines. Fyi, the lines are perpendicular because each slope is the opposite.
This gives (3,0) as your answer.
