Set the two equations equal to each other. Since they both equal y, they both equal each other. For instance if we have y=x and y=5, then x=5 since we can substitute 5 into y.
Substitute into
Now we have everything in terms of x. Solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides
Subtract 3/2x from both sides
Multiply both sides by 2

Substitute this back into

Check:
Use this first

Works
Next use this equation to check

Works

So the intersection is (20,34)
