Step 1: Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.
3x -5 = 6x - 8
3x + (-5+5) = 6x -8 + 5
(3x - 6x) = (6x - 6x) - 3
-3x/-3 = -3/-3
x = 1
Step 2: To solve for y take one of the given equation of your choice (for the purpose of this explanation I will only do y = 3x - 5) and replace x with 1, then solve for y
y = 3(1) - 5
y = 3 - 5
y = -2
(1,-2)
Check:
-2 = 3(1) - 5 ---> - 2 = -2
-2 = 6(1) - 8 ---> -2 = -2
