how do you find solutions to an equation like this (6-2x-2y=0)?
You can write it in a way so that one variable is dependent on the other:
ie)
y = \frac{-6 + 2x}{-2}
or
x = \frac{-6+2y}{-2}
So for the first one you have a function, f(x) that for every f(x=value) you have a solution.

The solution set to that equation is a line, namely y=3-x.
