Answer:

(2, 1) is the point where the two lines intersect.

To prove it I'll use substitution

The equations are:

y = 2x - 3 and y = -3x + 7

I'll plug in 2x - 3 for y in y = -3x + 7 so...

2x - 3 = -3x + 7

Simplify:

5x = 10

x = 2

Now I'll plug 2 for x in y = 2x - 3

y = 2(2) - 3

y = 4 - 3

y = 1

So the ordered pair/solution is (2, 1)

Hope that explains it!
