    To obtain the vertices of triangle formed by above equations : 3x - y = 3, 2x - 3y = 2 and x + 2y = 8.

    First we will solve equations:

    3x - y = 3 and 2x - 3y = 2

    then 2x - 3y = 2 and x + 2y = 8

    and lastly x + 2y = 8 and 3x - y = 3

    Now on solving equations 3x - y = 3 and 2x - 3y = 2, we get x = 1 and y = 0,

    So one of the vertex is (1, 0)

    Similarly, on solving pair of equations 2x - 3y = 2 and x + 2y = 8 we get x = 4 and y = 2 so second vertex will be (4, 2)

    On solving x + 2y = 8 and 3x - y = 3 we get x = 2 and y = 3. Hence third vertex is (2, 3). So, the vertices of Triangle are (1, 0), (4, 2) and (2, 3)
