Question 887699
Graph the two equations on the same xy axis. Use a graphing calculator to get


{{{ drawing( 500, 500, -10, 10, -10, 10,
grid(1),
graph( 500, 500, -10, 10, -10, 10, 0, (8+x)/3,2-x)

) 
}}}


Graph of {{{-x+3y=8 }}} (green) and {{{x+y=2}}} (blue)


Use the graphs 'intersect' feature to find the two lines cross at the point (-0.5, 2.5)


This is the same as (-1/2, 5/2) after you convert those decimals to fraction form.



Final Answer: (-1/2, 5/2) which means x = -1/2, y = 5/2
