The problem is written like this: 5x + y = 5x + (3x − 11) = 13. I guess, it supposed to be a function, or a linear equation. But this is the way it is written, unless they wrote it down wrong. I really do appreciate your patience. Thank you for your help.

So let's form 2 equations from this:
5x+y = 13
5x + 3x - 11 = 13 or 8x = 24
so x = 3
back into the first

5(3) + y = 13
y = -2

x = 3, y = -2
