we have the system

x+y=8 -----> equation A

x-y=4 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

so

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

the solution is the point (6,2)

Step-by-step explanation

To graph, the lines find out the intercepts

x+y=8 -----> equation A

x-intercept (value of x when the value of y=0)

For y=0

x+0=8

x=8

the x-intercept is (8,0)

y-intercept (value of y when the value of x=0)

For x=0

0+y=8

y=8

y-intercept is (0,8)

x-y=4 ----> equation B

x-intercept ---------> (4,0)

y-intercept -------> (0,-4)

To graph, each line, plot the intercepts and join the points to graph the line

see the attached figure
