You need to solve this system of two equations with two unknowns:

system%282x%2By=5%2C%0D%0Ay=x-1%29.

Substitute  y  from the second equation to the first one.  You will get an equation for the single unknown x only.

Then solve it.

Then substitute the found value of  x  into either equation of the original system to find  y.

Is it clear?

Good luck!
