Thanks in advance!

Rearrange your first equation to get x = something in terms of y.
Substitute that in for x in the second equation.
Solve for x. Should be solve for y.
Then use that to solve for x. Then solve for x.

EDITED. (sorry about that. Thanks Otis.)

Graphs - please help!

Were you instructed to find the intersection point by graphing the lines?

Where are you stuck in graphing the two straight lines? (lesson) Are you wanting first to solve for "y="? (lesson) Or something else?

Please be specific. Thank you!
