The answer is: #x=1, y=0#

To solve by graphing, simply graph the lines. The intersection point will be the result. Because that point is on both lines so it satisfies both of the equations.

#1)# #2x-y=2#

#2)# #5x+y=5#

#1)#

graph{y=2x-2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

#2)#

graph{y=-5x+5 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

The intersection point is #(1,0)# so the result is:

#x=1, y=0#
