intersection from a graph.
One of the easiest ways to solve a system of equations is to solve
by substitution. In order to use this method, it is preferable that eit .....

hallways in high school were always packed and you would have trouble
even going to another classroom four rooms down. In college there is
always plenty of room and you can get all the way across campus with no
hassle at all.
Another minor difference was the appearance and attitude of the
