To make them look more familiar and approachable to beginning algebra students. It's completely unnecessary with the advent of calculators though.

To solve it by coordinate graphs you would take a point from the line and plug in the X and Y value into the equations and or inequalities.
Yes
Somewhat, but the rules are a bit different for inequalities. Example. -2X > 4 X < - 2 See, sign changes when dividing by negative coefficient.
The question contains two equations:5x - 6y = 15 5x + y = 2 There are no inequalities in the question.
Multiply both sides of each linear equation by a power of 10 that is sufficiently large to clear the decimal. Example: 0.34x = 13.6. There are two places to the right of the decimal point, on the left side; there is one place to the right of the decimal point, on the right side. If you multiply both sides by 100, you get 34x = 1,360. That result clears all decimals, and you might find it easier to solve. You don't have to do that, but many will say that that makes it easier for them.
