      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with y = x+3 and plug in y = 2x+5. Then solve for x 
 y = x+3
 2x+5 = x+3
 2x = x+3-5
 2x-x = 3-5
 x = -2
 
 ------------
 Now that we know x = -2, use this to find y.
 
 y = x+3
 y = -2+3
 y = 1
 
 -------------------------
 
 Since we got x = -2 and y = 1, the final answer is (-2,1)
