1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the given system of equations by graphing. The system of equations is:
3x5y=153x - 5y = 15
6x+y=36x + y = -3

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
For the first equation, 3x5y=153x - 5y = 15:
5y=3x+15-5y = -3x + 15
y=3x5+155y = \frac{-3x}{-5} + \frac{15}{-5}
y=35x3y = \frac{3}{5}x - 3
For the second equation, 6x+y=36x + y = -3:
y=6x3y = -6x - 3
Now we have the two equations in slope-intercept form:
y=35x3y = \frac{3}{5}x - 3
y=6x3y = -6x - 3
To find the solution, we look for the point where the two lines intersect. We can set the two equations equal to each other:
35x3=6x3\frac{3}{5}x - 3 = -6x - 3
35x+6x=3+3\frac{3}{5}x + 6x = -3 + 3
35x+305x=0\frac{3}{5}x + \frac{30}{5}x = 0
335x=0\frac{33}{5}x = 0
x=0x = 0
Now, substitute x=0x = 0 into either equation to find the corresponding yy value. Let's use the first equation in slope-intercept form:
y=35(0)3y = \frac{3}{5}(0) - 3
y=3y = -3
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (0,3)(0, -3).

3. Final Answer

The solution is (0,3)(0, -3).
