Answer:

x = 20

y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the 2nd equation to make x the subject:

x + y = 30  ⇒  x = 30 - y

Substitute  x = 30 - y  into the first equation and solve for y:

20(30 - y) + 25y = 650

600 - 20y + 25y = 650

           600 + 5y = 650

                      5y = 50

                        y = 10

Substitute found value of y into  x = 30 - y to find x:

x = 30 - 10 = 20

So x = 20 and y = 10
