$x = 5$ $x=5$
$y = 40$ $y=40$

We know both equations are equal to $y$ $y$ right, so we will set both equations equal to each other.

$y = y$ $y=y$

So

$8 x = 5 x + 15$ $8x=5x+15$

$8 x - 5 x = 15$ $8x-5x=15$

$3 x = 15$ $3x=15$

$x = \frac{15}{3}$ $x=15/3$

$x = 5$ $x=5$

And since

$y = 8 x$ $y = 8x$

you have

$y = 8 \cdot 5 = 40$ $y = 8 * 5 = 40$

There you have it.
