You add the equations to get rid of one variable, then you have 6x=24 then you divide both sides and you have x=4, then you substitute the given value of x and you are left with 5*4 - y = 9. And the solution or well possible solution is y = 11 which gives youuuuu. (x , y) = (4 , 11)
4 + y = 15....1
20 - y = 9.....2

....1*5
20 + 5y = 75....3

....3 - .....2
4y = 60
y = 15

the answer for (?) is 15
