### 13.

Two common strategies for solving systems of equations are graphing and substitution. In previous units, solving systems of linear equations has been done with these two methods. Use the same methods and apply them to the systems below.

For these systems, show how to solve algebraically and with a graph. You may use graphing technology if you desire.
