Problem 65
Textbook Question
In Exercises 63–68, find the solution set for each system by graphing both of the system's equations in the same rectangular coordinate system and finding points of intersection. Check all solutions in both equations.
Verified step by step guidance1
Rewrite both equations to clearly identify the relationships: the first equation is and the second equation is .
Since both equations express in terms of , set the right-hand sides equal to each other to find the values of where the graphs intersect: .
Simplify the equation by subtracting from both sides, resulting in . Then solve for by dividing both sides by -3.
Find the corresponding values by substituting each value back into either original equation, for example, .
Verify each solution pair by substituting into both original equations to ensure they satisfy both, confirming the points of intersection and thus the solution set.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Graphing Equations in the Coordinate Plane
Graphing involves plotting points that satisfy an equation on the rectangular coordinate system. For each equation, you find pairs (x, y) that make the equation true and plot them to visualize the curve or line. This helps in identifying where two graphs intersect.

Systems of Equations and Intersection Points
A system of equations consists of two or more equations with the same variables. The solution set is the set of points that satisfy all equations simultaneously, often found where their graphs intersect. Intersection points represent these common solutions.
