Since both equations are set = y you can set them equal to each other and solve. -3x + 5 = 2x -6 Subtract 2x from both sides. -5x + 5 = -6 Subtract 5 from both sides -5x = -11 Divide both sides by-5 x = 11/5 Substitute 11/5 in for x in either equation and solve for y. y = -3(11/5) + 5 y = -33/5 + 5 y = -33/5 + 25/5 y = -8/5 (11/5, -8/5)
