    The solution is (-1/2, 3 1/2), or (-0.5, 3.5)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Seeing that - x + 3 = y (in the second equation), substitute - x + 3 for y in the first equation, obtaining:

    -x + 3 = 3x + 5

    Combining the x terms, we get

    3 = 4x + 5

    Combining the constants, we get

    4x = - 2, or x = - 1/2

    Seeing that - x + 3 = y, substitute - 1/2 for x and calculate y:

    - (-1/2) + 3 = y = 3 1/2

    The solution is (-1/2, 3 1/2), or (-0.5, 3.5)
