Uhh Okay. I'm busy with phase space diagrams (two competing populations, with logistic growth). I see the answer they have, I just can't figure out how they arrived at that answer.

$$a-bx-cy=0 \ d-ex-fy=0$$
assuming the point they want to solve for is called (x,y)...
I would solve this by elimination. 
Multiply the first equation by e.
Multiply the second equation by -b.
You will see that the equations have the opposite coefficients for their x term.
This is good because when you add the equations together you will eliminate x and be able to solve for y. Then you can go back and find x.
