    lets start with the easy equation. X+Y=60. so we take 60 and subtract Y to get X by itself. meaning X = 60-Y. every time we see X replace with (60-Y).

    X + 5Y = 100 change to

    60-Y+5Y = 100

    5Y - Y = 4y.

    60+4Y = 100. 100 minus the 60 = 40. 4Y=40. divide by 4. Y = 10. ok so now we solve for X. X + Y (or 10) = 60. 60-10 = 50. X = 50.
