The given lines intersect at (0,3)

Explanation:

[1]XXXXx+y=3
[2]XXXX2xy=3

add [1] and [2]
[3]XXXX3x=0
[4]XXXXx=0

substituting 0 for x in [1]
XXXX0+y=3
XXXXy=3

I found the point of intersection of coordinates:
x=0
y=3

Explanation:

You basically solve the System of the two equations trying to find values of x and y that satisfy both equations simultaneously.
From the first you can isolate x as:
x=3y
now you can substitute this x into the second equation and find y as:
2(3y)y=3
62yy=3
3y=9
y=3
substitute back this value into the first equation to find x:
x=33=0
