$y = \frac{1}{3} x - 2$ $x + y = 6$

Step 1

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{x}{3} - 2$

$x + y = 6$

Step 2

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 6 - x$

$y = \frac{x}{3} - 2$

Step 3

Create a graph to locate the intersection of the equations. The intersection of the system of equations is the solution.

$(6, 0)$
