How to find the solution of the system of equations

The solution of the system of equation is sought by equating the two equations

Hence we have that

y = 2/3 x - 3

y = -2x + 5

Equating both sides

-2x + 5 = 2/3 x - 3

-2x - 2/3 x = -3 - 5

-8/3 x = -8

x = 3

Solving for y by substituting the value of x

y = -2 (3) + 5

y = -6 + 5

y = -1

The solution of the system of equations is (3, -1)
