_____
If you like, you can solve the system algebraically. The second equation can be rewritten to give ...
y = x +2
Substituting this into the first equation gives ...
5/3x -2(x +2) = -2
-1/3x -4 = -2
Adding 4 and multiplying by -3 gives ...
x = -3(-2+4) = -6
Then our equation for y tells us ...
y = -6 +2 = -4
The solution is (x, y) = (-6, -4).
