Solution

To find the point of intersection of the two lines, we can use the method of substitution or elimination. Here, we will use the method of substitution.

Step 1: From the second equation, we can express x in terms of y: x = 5 - y

Step 2: Substitute x = 5 - y into the first equation: 2(5 - y) - y + 3 = 0

Step 3: Simplify the equation: 10 - 2y - y + 3 = 0

Step 4: Combine like terms: -3y + 13 = 0

Step 5: Solve for y: y = 13/3

Step 6: Substitute y = 13/3 into the equation x = 5 - y to find x: x = 5 - 13/3 = 2/3

So, the point of intersection of the two lines is (2/3, 13/3).
