X-coordinate 81737

In triangle ABC, determine the coordinates of point B if you know that points A and B lie on the line 3x-y-5=0, points A and C lie on line 2x+3y+4=0, point C lies on the x-coordinate axis, and the angle at vertex C is right.

Correct answer:

Bx =  5.3333
By =  11

Step-by-step explanation:
