1. **State the problem:** We need to find the coordinates of point Q(2, 3) after two reflections: first in the x-axis, then in the y-axis.
2. **Recall reflection rules:**
- Reflection in the x-axis changes the y-coordinate sign: $ (x, y) \to (x, -y) $.
- Reflection in the y-axis changes the x-coordinate sign: $ (x, y) \to (-x, y) $.
3. **Apply the first reflection (x-axis):**
Starting with $Q = (2, 3)$,
$$ Q' = (2, -3) $$
4. **Apply the second reflection (y-axis) to $Q'$:**
$$ Q'' = (-2, -3) $$
5. **Interpretation:**
After reflecting Q first in the x-axis and then in the y-axis, the point moves from $(2, 3)$ to $(-2, -3)$. This means both coordinates have changed sign.
**Final answer:** The coordinates of Q after the two reflections are $\boxed{(-2, -3)}$.
