Do you know how to solve a system of two linear equations? If so, all you are being asked to do is to solve three different 2 variable/2 equation systems.

y = x; y = 0

y = x; 2x + 3y = 10

y = 0; 2x + 3y = 10

(Remember, y = 0 is the x-axis)

Each pair of equations will have a single ordered pair as a solution, so you will have three ordered pairs when you have solved all three systems. Those three ordered pairs will be the vertices of the triangle.
