Solution: (6, 4)

This means x = 6, y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 2

Rewritting:

y = x - 2...equation 1

4x - 3y = 12

Rewritting:

4x - 12 = 3y

y = 4x/3 - 12/3

y = 4x/3 - 4 ....equation 2

To graph both equations, we neeed to assign values for x in order to get corresponding values of y in each of the equation.

using x = -1, 0, 1, 2, 4, 6

y = x - 2...equation 1

when x = -1

y = (-1) -2 = -1 -2

y = -3

when x = 0

y = 0 -2 = -2

when x = 1

y = 1 -2 = -1

when x = 2

y = 2-2 = 0

when x = 4

y = 4 -2 = 2

when y = 6

y = 6-2 = 4

y = 4x/3 - 4 ....equation 2

ywhen x = -1

y = 4/3(-1) - 4 = -4/3 - 4

y = -16/3

when x = 0

y = 4/3(0) - 4 = 0 - 4

y = -4

when x = 1

y = 4/3(1) - 4 = 4/3 - 4 = (4 -12)/3 = -8/3

y = -13/4

when x = 2

y = 4/3(2) - 4 = 8/3 - 4 = = (8-12)/3= -4/3

when x = 4

y = 4/3(4) - 4 = 16/3 - 4 = (16-12)/3 = 4/3

when x = 6

y = 4/3(6) -4 = 24/3 - 4 = 8 - 4 = 4

Note that the graph i attached as more than x = 0, 1, -1, 2, 4, 6

So to get the values of y for x = 8, 10. You will insert each of those numbers in each equations

Now we plot the points we got on a graph:

The solution to a graphing problem with two equations is the point of intersection of both graphs

The point of intersection of the graph (x, y) attached is at (6, 4)

The solution is x = 6, y = 4
