Answer:

x = 8 , y = 53

Explanation:

given the system of equations

y = x + 45 → (1)

y = 5x + 13 → (2)

substitute y = 5x + 13 into (1)

5x + 13 = x + 45 ( subtract x from borh sides )

4x + 13 = 45 ( subtract 13 from both sides )

4x = 32 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 8

substitute x = 8 into (1) and solve for y

y = 8 + 45 = 53

the solution is x = 8 , y = 53
