1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of linear equations by equating the values of $y$:
$$y = 3x + 2$$
$$y = 2x + 3$$
2. **Use the method of equating values of $y$:** Since both expressions equal $y$, set them equal to each other:
$$3x + 2 = 2x + 3$$
3. **Solve for $x$:**
Subtract $2x$ from both sides:
$$3x + 2 - \cancel{2x} = \cancel{2x} + 3 - 2x$$
which simplifies to:
$$x + 2 = 3$$
Subtract 2 from both sides:
$$x + 2 - 2 = 3 - 2$$
$$x = 1$$
4. **Find $y$ by substituting $x=1$ into one of the original equations:**
Using $y = 3x + 2$:
$$y = 3(1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5$$
5. **Final answer:**
The solution to the system is:
$$(x, y) = (1, 5)$$
This means the two lines intersect at the point $(1, 5)$ on the Cartesian plane.
