Solve the following system:

{13 y-5 x = -7 | (equation 1)

5 x+4 y = 24 | (equation 2)

Add equation 1 to equation 2:

{-(5 x)+13 y = -7 | (equation 1)

0 x+17 y = 17 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 17:

{-(5 x)+13 y = -7 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)

Subtract 13 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(5 x)+0 y = -20 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -5:

{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: |{x = 4          y=1
