Solution:
Given Lines are

and

first we write both as


Now, to find intersecting point equate the components of both lines
we have



So we have system of linear equations.



Now we solve them by using matrix method:
so its matrix representation is

applying

applying

applying




By using values of
in
, we get


Here,
is the common point of
.
Hence, it is the required intersecting point.
This complete the solution.
