Answer

$\{(-1,2)\}$

Work Step by Step

Graph each line (plot two points per line, such as the interceptcs) $ \begin{array}{lllllll} & & & & & & \\ x+y=1 & & & | & y-x=3 & & \\ x=0 & & y=0 & | & x=0 & & y=0\\ & & & & & & \\ 0+y=1 & & x+0=1 & | & y-0=3 & & 0-x=3\\ y=12 & & x=1 & | & y=3 & & x=-3\\ (0,1), & & (1,0) & | & (0,3) & & (-3,0) \end{array} $ Plot the pairs of points and the accompanying lines. Determine intersection points, if any. (see attached image) There is an intersection point, the solution set is $\{(-1,2)\}$
