So this question is already perfectly set up. Since the 6 and -6 cancel you’ll be left with 5x + 3x which is 8x and -32 + 48 which is 16. 8x=16. Isolate x to get that x=2. Plug 2 back into one of the equations. 5(2) -6y = -32. Solve for y now. -10-32 equals -42. Divide -42 by -6 to get 7. So the final coordinate where the two equations will intersect is (2,7)
