Any straight line can be represented by an equation of the form
Y = mX + b
where m is the slope and b is the Y intercept, so these two equations are lines. The only solution is where the two lines cross, so must satisfy both equations. Plugging in 3 for X and -2 for Y we get
Y = -3X + 7
-2 = -3(3) + 7
-2 = -9 + 7
-2 = -2 True
AND,
Y = 2X - 8
-2 = 2(3) - 8
-2 = 6 - 8
-2 = -2 True
So since both are true, yes (3, -2) is the solution.
