First multiply everything by 10 to get whole numbers.
Solve equation [2] for the variable x
`3x = 2y + 1`
`x = 2y/3 + 1/3`
Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
`15(2y/3+1/3) + 8y = 23`
`18y = 18`
Solve equation [1] for the variable y
`18y = 18`
`y = 1`
By now we know this much :
`x = 2y/3+1/3`
`y = 1`
Use the y value to solve for x
`x = (2/3)(1)+1/3 = 1`
The solution is `(1,1)`
