A topology is a set of elements or subsets that follows these properties:
Yes, any intersection of two topologies on X is always a topology on X. Consider this example:
Let X = {1,2,3}, T = {∅, {1},{2},{1,2},X} and S = {∅, {1}, {3}, {1,3},X}
Then, S ∩ T = {∅, X, {1}}
To show that S ∩ T is a topology, we need to prove these properties:
Step 1: Prove the first property is followed
Since the empty set and X belongs to S ∩ T, the first property is followed. That is obvious. ;)
Step 2: Prove the second property is followed
Select any union of any pair of subsets. You should see that this property is also satisfied. How?
∅ U X = X ∈ S ∩ T
∅ U {1} = {1} ∈ S ∩ T
{1} U X = X ∈ S ∩ T
Step 3: Prove the third property is followed
Any intersection of the subsets belong to the set obviously. See below:
∅ ∩ X = ∅ ∈ S ∩ T
∅ ∩ {1} = ∅ ∈ S ∩ T
{1} ∩ X = {1} ∈ S ∩ T
So the intersection of two topologies on X is a topology.

In systems of equations, the graphing method is solving x and y by graphing out the two equations. x and y being the coordinates of the two line's intersection.
This is called the origin.
The intersection between rational and irrational numbers is the empty set (Ø) since no rational number (x∈ℚ) is also an irrational number (x∉ℚ)
The origin
Plot the straight line representing 2y = 12 - x. Plot the straight line representing 3y = x - 2 The coordinates of the point of intersection of these two lines is the solution to the simultaneous equations.
