sub y=3x-13 into 4x+5y=11

i.e 4x+5(3x-13) =11
4x+15x-65=11
19x=76
x=4

y=3x4-13 = -1

4x+5y=11 and you know y=3x-13 so you replace y in the original equation with the second known equation and solve
4x+5(3x-13)=11
4x+15x-65=11
19x-65=11
19x=76
x=4

Hope this helps

4x+5y=11
y=3x-13

substituting equation 2 to equation 1

4x+5(3x-13)=11
4x+15x-65=11
19x-65=11
  19x=11+65
  19x=76
    x=4 answer

plugging x=4 to equation 2

 y=3(4)-13
 y=12-13
 y=-1 answer
