Answer:

x = 8, y = 21

Explanations:

The given equation is:

y = 4x - 11 = x + 13

This can be splitted into two equations as:

y = 4x - 11..........(1)

y = x + 13..........(2)

Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)

4x - 11 = x + 13

4x - x = 13 + 11

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

Substitute the value of x into equation (1)

y = 4x - 11

y = 4(8) - 11

y = 32 - 11

y = 21

x = 8, y = 21
