~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since the two equations
y = 5x-3 and
y = x+5
have identical left sides, their right sides are equal too:
5x-3 = x+5.
I am sure you can easily solve it on your own and find x.
Then find y.
In this way, you will get the answer.

y=5x-3
y=x+5
5x-3=x+5
5x-x-3+3=x-x+5+3
4x=8
4x/4=8/4
x=2
y=2+5
y=7
