    Step-by-step explanation:

    x=5+y

    x + y = 33

    we will solve using substitution

    (5+y) + y = 33

    5+y+y=33

    5+2y=33

    subtract 5 from both sides

    2y=28

    y=14

    We got y now we will find what x is

    for this, we will substitute y's value (14) into the first equation

    x=5 + (14)

    x=19

    we got x too
