Answer 5

solve
\[x+y=20\\
2x+y=25\] for \(x\) and \(y\)

Answer 6

x= 10 y = 5

Answer 7

no that is not right

Answer 8

because \(10+5=15\) not \(20\)

Answer 9

oh

Answer 10

you have lots of ways to solve
one way it to subtract the first equation from the second, you get \(x=5\) right away

Answer 11

so x = 5 and y = 15
