y = 5x + 5
y - x = 5

You can use substitution to solve this system. Use y's expression (5x + 5) for y in the second equation to solve for x:

y - x = 5
5x + 5 + x = 5
6x + 5 = 5
6x = 0
x = 0

Substitute your value for x into one of the original equations to y:

y = 5x + 5
y = 5(0) + 5
y = 5

Finally, substitute both values into both original equations to check your work:

5 = 5(0) + 5 --> 5 = 5 <--True
5 - 0 = 5 --> 5 = 5 <--True

Answer:
x = 0
y = 5
