A system of equations, you see you have y solved for in the first equaton, so you can take that and plug it in for y in the other equation...then theres only x to solve for

so y=50+25x

plug 50+25x into the other equation where y is

35+27.50x=50+25x

now solve for x

Is it...
27.50x = 15 + 25x
22.50x = 15
x= 22.5/15

maeganr · Answer

I combined to get the x on one side and the whole numbers on the other side

anonymous · Answer

you should get 6...

27.50x=15+25x
2.5x=15
x=15/2.5
x=6

anonymous · Answer

Now that you know x is 6 plug that into one of the original equations and solve for y

maeganr · Answer

ok

maeganr · Answer

50 + 25(6) = y
50+ 150 = y
Y = 200 
is this right?
