I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

2x+y=13;5x−4y=13

Step 1: Solve 2x+y=13 for y:

Solve 2x + y = 13 for y

2x + y + -2x = 13 + -2x

(add -2x to both sides)

y = -2x + 13

Step 2: Substitute −2x+13 for y in 5x−4y=13:

5x−4y=13

5x−4(−2x+13)=13

13x−52=13(Simplify both sides of the equation)

13x−52+52=13+52(Add 52 to both sides)

13x=65

(Divide both sides by 13)

13x/13 = 65/13

x = 5

Step 3: Substitute 5 for x in y = −2x+13:

y = −2x+13

y = (−2)(5)+13

(Simplify both sides of the equation)

y = 3

Answer: x= 5, y= 3
