Concepts

Two lines are graphed on the same coordinate plane and cross at
the point $(3, 5)$ . The lines are the graphs of a system of two
linear equations. What is the solution to the system?

The ordered pair $(3, 5)$ — the point that makes both equations true.

Two answers: $x = 3$ from one equation and $y = 5$ from the other.

Any point close to $(3, 5)$ , since graphs are approximate.

There is no single solution because two lines can cross at many points.
