Question 224364
Solve the system by graphing the equations.

3y-3=0
x+2y=10

1.  Graphing the two leads to the following picture:


{{{graph(600,600, -20, 20, -5, 10, 1, -x/2+5)}}}


2.  ANSWER:  Based on the graph, the two lines intersect at point (-8, 3) or x=8 and y=1.


Check if the point (8,1) satisfies the equations:


3y-3=0 so at y=1 then 3*1-3=0  which is a true statement.


x+2y=10 so at x=8 and y=1 then 8+2*1=-8+2=10 which is a true statement.


So the intersection point (8,1) is a solution to the system of equations.


I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
