Explanation:


y = -(2)/(3)x + 4


y = (1)/(3)x - 2

Since both equations are set equal to
y, we can take the right-hand side of each equation and set them equal to each other to solve for
x:


-(2)/(3)x + 4 = (1)/(3)x - 2


-(2)/(3)x - (1)/(3)x = -2 - 4


-x = -6


x = 6

Now we can plug this value into either equation to solve for
y:


y = (1)/(3)x - 2


y = (1)/(3)(6) - 2


y = 2 - 2


y = 0

So the solution to the system of equations is
(6, 0)
