The number in the blank box should be 44 because it said that "3 times x and 4 times y is 44".

You need to multiply the first equation by 3:

3x + 3y = 39.

Then, subtract the first equation from the second equation:

3x - 3x = 0

4y - 3y = y

44 - 39 = 5

Your new equation should look like this: y = 5

Now, substitute y = 5 into the first original equation:

x + 5 = 13

x = 8

Ans. (x, y) = (8, 5)
