Solving Simultaneous Equations Graphically

Medium

The graphs of the straight lines with equations $y = x + 3$ and $2 x + y = 6$ have been drawn on the grid.

A coordinate grid with x and y axes ranging from -2 to 8. Two straight lines are plotted. The first line, y = x + 3, passes through the points (-1, 2), (0, 3), (1, 4), and (2, 5). The second line, 2x + y = 6, passes through the points (0, 6), (1, 4), and (3, 0). The two lines intersect at the point (1, 4).

Use the graphs to solve the simultaneous equations

y = x + 3

2 x + y = 6
