Answer:


x=2\\y=3

Explanation:

Solve by substitution method


y=4x-5\\y=3x-3

First, solve
y=4x-5 for
y:

Substitute
4x-5 for
y in
y=3x-3


y=3x-3


4x-5=3x-3


4x-3x=5-3


x=2

Now that we have the value of x

substitute
2 for
x in
y=4x-5


y=4x-5


y=4(2)-5


y=8-5


y=3

∴ The value of
x is
2 and the value of
y is
3
