Answer:

none

Explanation:

Multiplying the second equation by -3 gives ...

6x -3y = -24

Values of x and y that satisfy this equation cannot also satisfy the first equation ...

6x -3y = 5

There are no solutions to this system of equations.

__

The equations describe parallel lines. There is no point of intersection.
