Most linear equations are functions (that is, for every value of x, there is only one corresponding value of y). When you assign a value to the independent variable, x, you can compute the value of the dependent variable, y. You can then plot the points named by each (x,y) pair on a coordinate grid.
This value of x can then be used to find y by substituting 1 with x e.g. in the first equation. The solution of the linear system is (1, 6). You can use the substitution method even if both equations of the linear system are in standard form. Just begin by solving one of the equations for one of its variables.
