Answer

Total numbers of tomatoes and cucumbers is 25


\begin{gathered} \text{Let x represent cucumbers and y represent tomatoes} \\ x+y=25\ldots\text{Equation 1} \\ \text{and y=4x} \\ \text{substitute for y=4x in equation 1} \\ \\ x+4x=25 \\ 5x=25 \\ \text{divide both sides }by\text{ 5} \\ (5x)/(5)=(25)/(5) \\ \\ x=5 \\ y=4x \\ y=4*5 \\ y=20 \end{gathered}

The final answer

20 tomatoes
