Answer:

(-3, -7).

Explanation:

1. Write the expressions.


(1)y= 2x-1\\ \\ (2)y= 3x+2

2. Write equation 1 and substitute its y value by the argument of expression 2.


(3x+2)= 2x-1\\ \\3x+2= 2x-1

3. Subtract 2 in both sides of the equation.


3x+2-2= 2x-1-2\\ \\3x=2x-3

4. Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.


3x-2x=2x-3-2x\\ \\x=-3

5. Verify the answer.

To see of the answer is correct, both of the equation should give the same y value for the x value of -3.


(1)y= 2(-3)-1\\ \\ y=-6-1\\ \\y=-7


(2)y= 3(-3)+2\\ \\y=-9+2\\ \\y=-7

6. Express the final result.

(x, y)

(-3, -7).
