Subtracting the first equation from the second to eliminate x, we have 3y - 1/5y = 2 - (-4/5). Simplifying gives us 14/5y = 14/5. Dividing both sides by 14/5 gives y = 1. Substituting this in the second equation allows us to solve for x. We have 1/3x + 3(1) = 2. Subtracting 3 from both sides gives 1/3x = -1. Multiplying both sides by 3, we have x = -3.
Therefore, (x,y) = (-3,1)
