Question

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing.

y = x +2
y = -x -4
The solution is

Answer 1

x = -3

Explanation:

x + 2 and -x-4 is equal, because they are both y

we want to move the variables to one side and the numbers to the other side

x+x = 2x, and -4-2 = -6

so 2x = -6

and x = -3

Answer 2

Solution: (-3,-1)
