first move x or y to the other side of the equation. I'll move y to get x=y+3.
3(y+3)-2y=3 substitution
3y+9-2y=3 getting rid of parentheses
y=-6 simplifiaction
so, put in -6 whereever you see y and get the following
x-(-6)=3
x+6=3
x=-3
put it in the other now to see if they check out and.....
3(-3)-2(-6)=3
-9--12=3
-9+12=3 checks out, so its not inconsistent. Since there's the one and only answer, I believe that to be an independent system, but not 100% sure (been a few years since I last did H.S. math)

x-y=3
x=3+y
now subsitute this value of x in second statement
3(3+y)-2y=3
9+3y-2y=3
9+y=3
y=3-9
y=-6
now substitute this in x=3+y
x=3+(-6)
x=-3
u can substitute these value in any of the given statement and if Left hand side =right hand side, the ur answer is correct, i cheched for this, this is correct

x-y=3
x=3+y___equation 1
3x-2y=3__equation 2
Substituting value of x from equation 1 to equation 2
3(3+y)-2y=3
9+3y-2y=3
9+y=3
y=3-9
y=-6
Putting value of y in equation 1
x=3+(-6)
x=3-6=-3
Consistent

y= x-3 y = (3x-3)/2
make them equal, solve for X.
2x -6 = 3x -3
-9 = x
y = x-3 , y = -12

x-y=3
3x-2y=3
multiply by 3 3x-3y=9
3x-2y=3
substracting: -3y+2y=9-3
-y=6, y=-6
x=3-6=-3
answer x= -3, y= -6

x-y=3
i.e. 2x-2y=6
-3x-2y=3
--------------------
-x =3
x=-3
