Since you have an equation that expresses y in terms of x, just substitute the expression containing x into the other equation, thus:



Solve for x to get your x-coordinate, and then substitute that value back into either of the equations and solve for the y-coordinate. Express your answer as (x,y) once you have the proper values.
