x-3y=6
x+y=2
this is an substitution problem
so first you can do is rewrite the problem by subjection one variable
x=3y+6
then substitute this in the other proble
x+y=2
(3y+6)+y=2
4y+6=2
4y=2-6
4y=-4
y=-1
then substitute the no. in the original equation.
x=3y+6
x=3(-1)+6
x=-3+6
x=3
now you got the intercepts and you draw the line and check.
it's in the IV quadrant
