1) Let's make two t-tables, one for each equation so that we can find the points of each line.

2)

3x+y=9

x|y =9 -3x

-1| y= 9 -3(-1) =12

0| y = 9-3(0) = 9

1| y= 9 -3(1) =6

So we've got the points: (-1,12), (0,9) and (1,6)

Now, let's pick the second equation and rewrite it in the Slope-intercept form:

x=y+3 ⇔-y=3-x ⇔ y=x-3

x|y

-1| y=-1-3=-4

0| y= 0-3 = -3

1| y= 1-3 =-2

So, we've got the points (-1,-4), (0,-3) and (1,-2)

2.2) Let's plot those points and check:

Note that both lines intercept each other at point (3,0) and that is the solution.
