Answer:

(6, 9)

Explanation:

Plug in 2/3x + 5 as y into 7x - 3y = 15

7x - 3(2/3x + 5) = 15

7x - 2x - 15 = 15

Add like terms:

5x - 15 = 15

5x = 30

x = 6

Then, plug in 6 as x into y = 2/3x + 5 to solve for y:

y = 2/3x + 5

y = 2/3(6) + 5

y = 9

So, the solution to the system of equations is (6, 9)
