Basically with the example you have you need to have the x and y variables on different sides.
Equation:
-18x+9y=72 (now you want to add 18x on both sides)
<u>+18x +18x
</u><u>9y=72+18x </u> (next you divide 9 to both sides to get x and y alone)
9
y=8+2x (now that you have the x and y alone this is the final equation)
On the graph you want to put a dot on 8 since it's the y-intercept or the starting point of the equation. After that you want to add 2 every time you go by 1 on the x-axis. I have a picture of a graph...
<em>I hope this help you out :D</em>
