Answer 1

If you draw the graph of y = -x + 6 on the above graph the solution to system will be the coordinates of the point of intersection.
the equation of the line drawn above is y = 0.5x

so you can also find the solution by solving the system
y = 0.5x
y = -x + 6

0.5x = -x + 6
1.5x = 6
x = 6/1.5 = 4

and y = 0.5*4 = 2

The answer is (4, 2) - the third choice.
