Answer:

(x, y) = (7, 2 2/3)

Explanation:

We can multiply the first equation by 2/5 to get ...

8x -6y = 40

The second equation gives an expression for 6y that we can substitute.

8x -(3x -5) = 40

5x +5 = 40 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

x +1 = 8 . . . . . . . .divide by 5

x = 7 . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1

Using the second equation, we find ...

3(7) -5 = 6y

y = 16/6 = 2 2/3

The coordinates of the point of intersection are (x, y) = (7, 2 2/3).
