Answer:
x = - 3.75
y = 28.75
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \begin{cases} x + y = 25\\\\ 5x + y = 10 \end{cases} [/tex]
Since, x + y = 25
Therefore, y = 25 - x..... (1)
5x + y = 10......(2)
Plug y = 25 - x in equation (2), we find:
5x + 25 - x = 10
5x - x = 10 - 25
4x = - 15
x = - 15/4
x = - 3.75
Plug x = - 3.75 in equation (1), we find:
y = 25 - (- 3.75)
y = 25 + 3.75
y = 28.75
(x, y) = (-3.75, 28.75)
