Where the teacher is telling you to state the answer as an ordered pair, it's pretty silly to call it the "locus of points" satisfying both equations. "Locus" usually refers to a collection of points, not a single point. It's not technically wrong, it's just pretentious!!
OK, well, by substitution the first equation becomes 2(3 - 2y) - 3y = 5 => 1 - 7y = 0 => y = 1/7, x = 19/7. So the answer is (19/7, 1/7).
