We need to graph this equation:

[tex]16x+2y=300[/tex]

Its solutions are the points through which it graph passes. Since it's a linear equation its graph is a straight line and we only need two of its points to draw it. But before graphing let's re-write the equation. We can substract 16x from both sides:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 16x+2y=300 \\ 16x+2y-16x=300-16x \\ 2y=300-16x \end{gathered}[/tex]

And we divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2y}{2}=\frac{300-16x}{2}=\frac{300}{2}-\frac{16x}{2} \\ y=150-8x \end{gathered}[/tex]

So now with this equation if we pick two random x values we'll get their corresponding y values. This way we'll find two points that are part of the graph which is the line that passes through both. We can begin with x=0:

[tex]y=150-8\cdot0=150[/tex]

So the first point is (0,150). Then we can take x=10 and we get:

[tex]y=150-8\cdot10=150-80=70[/tex]

So the second point is (10,70). Then the graph is the line that passes through points (0,150) and (10,70). In order to represent it
