Answer:

y = 3

Explanation:

We start by finding x

9x+25 = 13x-19 because of corresponding lines

This means that x = 11 {Subtract 25 from the left side and subtract 13 from the right side, divide remaining}

Now we know that 13x-19 = 124 because 13(11) -19

Because 124 and 17y + 5 are on the same lines that means they equal 180 so we can write 124 + 17y + 5 = 180 and get y = 3
