Answer:

(2.5, 5.5)

Explanation:

The system of equation is not well written

Let the system of equations be;

y = x+3

y = 3x - 2

Equate both expressions to get x;

x + 3 = 3x - 2

x - 3x = -2-3

-2x = -5

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

Get the value of y;

y = x+3

y = 2.5+3

y = 5.5

Hence the required coordinate point is (2.5, 5.5)

Note that the second equation was assumed but the same steps can be taken to solve the given equation
