Its just telling you that the x + y = 1000 is another equation. 
Its a linear way to write a system of equations.
So all the information they give you is:
$$0.05x + 0.08y = 60$$$$x + y = 1000$$
And they want you to solve for x and y.
Are you having trouble solving it? Or can you take it from there?
