Draw the graph of the equation 3x + y = 8. Use it to find some solutions of the equation and check from the graph whether x = 2, y = 2 is a solution.

Answer

3x + y = 8
⇒ y = 8 – 3x
Table of solutions

x

0

3

y

8

-1

We plot the points (0, 8) and (3, – 1) on the graph paper and join the same by a ruler to get the line which is the graph of the equation 3jc + y = 8.

∵ The point (2, 2) lies on the graph.

∴ x = 2, y = 2 is a solution of the given equation.
