So there are two ways.
First you could solve for y and plug it into the calculator. one equation for y1 and another for y2. Then go 2nd trace and press 5 and then press enter 3 times to find the intersection.
the second way is to solve by hand. I would suggest solve the first equation for y and plug the equation solved for y into the other equation. so y = -3x + 9 and 3x-5y=15. Then you could do 3x - 5(-3x+9) = 15. Finally solve for x and plug in x into both equations to see if you get the same y value.
The answer should be (10/3, -1)

\left \{{{3x+y=9} \atop {3x-5y=15}} \right. \\ \left \{ {{y=9-3x} \atop {3x-5(9-3x)=15}} \right. \\ \left \{ {{y=9-3x} \atop {3x-45+15x=15}} \right. \\ \left \{ {{y=9-3x} \atop {18x=60}} \right. \\ \left \{ {{y=9-3x} \atop {x= (60)/(18) }} \right. \\ \left \{ {{y=9-3x} \atop {x= (10)/(3) }} \right. \\ \left \{ {{y=9-3 (10)/(3) } \atop {x= (10)/(3) }} \right. \\ \left \{ {{y=-1} \atop {x= (10)/(3) }} \right.
