Answer:

(5,10)

Explanation:

So we have the system of equations:


y=x+5\\3x+y=25

To solve, we can use substitution.

Substitute the first equation into the second:


3x+y=25\\3x+(x+5)=25

Combine like terms:


4x+5=25

Subtract 5:


4x=20

Divide by 4:


x=5

Now, substitute this into the first equation:


y=x+5\\y=5+5

Add:


y=10

So, our answer is (5,10)

And we are done :)
