anonymous · Answer

who ever does this i will love you forever

anonymous · Answer

you really want the graphing method?

anonymous · Answer

I dont even know that that means lol

hero · Answer

y = (18-3x)/6
y= (20-2x)/5

anonymous · Answer

it means graph both lines, and find the point where the two lines intersect (meet, cross, whatever)

then you would have to graph the line 
$$3x+6y=18$$ and in sentences i would say

anonymous · Answer

to graph 
$$3x+6y=18$$ i would find the x and y intercepts. the x intercept is where 
$$y=0$$ so solve 
$$3x=18$$
$$x=6$$ so x intercept is 
$$(6,0)$$

anonymous · Answer

so if i copied and pasted that i would be right?

hero · Answer

No

anonymous · Answer

then to find the y - intercept replace x by 0 to get 
$$6y=18$$ 
$$y=3$$ and therefore the y - intercept is 
$$(0,3)$$

hero · Answer

Why not just solve both equations for y, then graph?

anonymous · Answer

that will give you the graph of one line. then you have to repeat the process to graph the second line. 
then you look to see where they cross.

hero · Answer

I guess they mean graph on paper, not calculator

anonymous · Answer

it says how would i use the graphing method
