5x + y = 5x + (3x − 11) = 13.
where are you getting these problems?
there is no way to solve
the way you have written this.
copy the problem exactly from your book
5x + y = 5x + (3x − 11) = 13.
Please help me solve this step by step. This is killing me. I really need help, thank you so much.

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
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
