Solve {l}{x+y+0.05=0.25}{0.11+y+0.065=0.25}

$$\left\{ \begin{array} { l } { x + y + 0.05 = 0.25 } \\ { 0.11 + y + 0.065 = 0.25 } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y

$$x=0.125$$

$$y=0.075$$

Solution Steps

Consider the second equation. Add 0.11 and 0.065 to get 0.175.

$$0.175+y=0.25$$

Subtract 0.175 from both sides.

$$y=0.25-0.175$$

Subtract 0.175 from 0.25 to get 0.075.

$$y=0.075$$

Consider the first equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$x+0.075+0.05=0.25$$

Add 0.075 and 0.05 to get 0.125.

$$x+0.125=0.25$$

Subtract 0.125 from both sides.

$$x=0.25-0.125$$

Subtract 0.125 from 0.25 to get 0.125.

$$x=0.125$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=0.125 y=0.075$$
