Answer:

x=5 y=15

Explanation:

Solving by Elimination:

Multiply the bottom equation (x+y=20) by -1 to solve for x

Subtract -x-y=-20 from 2x+y=25 to get x=5

Now that you have solved for x, plug 5 back into the equation 2x+y=25 and solve for y

(2)(5)+y=25

10+y=25

-10 -10

y=15

Answer:

we have tow equation here

2x+y=25

and

x+y=20

so if we multiply the second equation with- and add it to the first equation we will find the x

x=5

and the we will fin the why by writing the value of the x in the equation you want

y=15
