1. **State the problem:** Find the point of intersection of the two lines given by the equations:
$$2x + 3y = 11$$
$$2x + y = 5$$
2. **Formula and method:** To find the intersection point, solve the system of linear equations simultaneously. We can use substitution or elimination. Here, we use elimination.
3. **Eliminate $x$:** Subtract the second equation from the first:
$$ (2x + 3y) - (2x + y) = 11 - 5 $$
$$ 2x + 3y - 2x - y = 6 $$
$$ 2y = 6 $$
4. **Solve for $y$:**
$$ y = \frac{6}{2} $$
$$ y = 3 $$
5. **Substitute $y=3$ into one of the original equations:** Using the second equation:
$$ 2x + y = 5 $$
$$ 2x + 3 = 5 $$
$$ 2x = 5 - 3 $$
$$ 2x = 2 $$
6. **Solve for $x$:**
$$ x = \frac{2}{2} $$
$$ x = 1 $$
7. **Conclusion:** The point of intersection is at
$$ (x, y) = (1, 3) $$
This means the two lines cross at the point with coordinates $1$ on the x-axis and $3$ on the y-axis.
