Greetings!

Substitute:

x+y=1000 \\ x=1000-y
Now we can input this into the other equation so, we only have one variable.

Solve for y.

0.05(1000-y)+0.06y=57
Distribute the parenthesis.

50-0.05y+0.06y=57
Combine Like Terms.

50-0.01y=57
Add -50 to both sides.

(50-0.01y)+(-50)=(57)+(-50)
Simplify.

0.01y=7
Divide both sides by 0.01.

(0.01y)/0.01=(7)/0.01
Simplify.

y=700

Input this value into the other equation.

x+700=1000
Add -700 to both sides.

(x+700)+(-700)=(1000)+(-700)
Simplify.

x=300

The answer would be 300,700

Hope this helps.
