That is easy. Select them and the united shape and choose "Join
shapes". The two "prongs" are not part of the intersection, so they
should not be moved away as per step 5 of the tutorial. Just move away
the shapes that are in the intersection and delete them. There
probably should be a step 6 to tell you to join the remaining shapes
(which was not necessary in the simple example in the tutorial).
