Two linear equations in x and y can be interpreted as two straight lines. The algebraic solution is the intersection point of these two lines. Just type the following lines into the input field and press the Enter key after each line.
g: 3x + 4y = 12
h: y = 2x - 8
S = Intersect[g, h]
To change the equations you can right click
