Graph the two given equations to find the solution to the system of equations.

Remember that the solution to the system are the coordinates of the points where both lines intersect, in the form (x,y)

Notice that the first equation corresponds to a line with slope 1 and y-intercept 3, while the second equation corresponds to a line with slope 5 and y-intercept -1.

Their graphs are:

Since the coordinates of the point where both lines intersect are (1,4), then, the solution to the system of equations is x=1 and y=4.
