Answer:

[tex]x=2\\y=3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by substitution method

[tex]y=4x-5\\y=3x-3[/tex]

First, solve [tex]y=4x-5[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex]:

Substitute [tex]4x-5[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex] in [tex]y=3x-3[/tex]

[tex]y=3x-3[/tex]

[tex]4x-5=3x-3[/tex]

[tex]4x-3x=5-3[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Now that we have the value of x

substitute [tex]2[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] in [tex]y=4x-5[/tex]

[tex]y=4x-5[/tex]

[tex]y=4(2)-5[/tex]

[tex]y=8-5[/tex]

[tex]y=3[/tex]

∴ The value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]2[/tex] and the value of [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]3[/tex]
