Answer:
(x, y) = (7, 2 2/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can multiply the first equation by 2/5 to get ...
8x -6y = 40
The second equation gives an expression for 6y that we can substitute.
8x -(3x -5) = 40
5x +5 = 40 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x +1 = 8 . . . . . . . .divide by 5
x = 7 . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1
Using the second equation, we find ...
3(7) -5 = 6y
y = 16/6 = 2 2/3
The coordinates of the point of intersection are (x, y) = (7, 2 2/3).
