    x = 11, y = 13

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    y = x + 2 → (1)

    5x - 4y = 3 → (2)

    Substitute y = x + 2 into (2)

    5x - 4 (x + 2) = 3 ← distribute and simplify left side

    5x - 4x - 8 = 3

    x - 8 = 3 (add 8 to both sides)

    x = 11

    Substitute x = 11 into (1) for corresponding value of y

    y = 11 + 2 = 13
