Hi.
This is what I got for part a although it really doesn't seem right at all

Do you understand what "equilibrium" means?

A system is "in equilibrium" if it is not changing. That, in turn, means that $\displaystyle \dot{u}= 0$ and $\displaystyle \dot{v}= 0$. And in this case that u(3- v)= 0 and uv+ 2- v= 0. What values of u and v satisfy both of those? u(3-v)= 0 has two obvious solutions. (For God's sake, don't multiply it!) What does uv+ 2- v= 0 become when you put either of those into it?

when u=0 and v=2
