1.(Y+10)*X=1800
2.(X+10)*Y = 2000
Use one equation to solve for one variable in terms of another and then solve using the second equation. Let's use equation 2 and solve for Y.



Now use equation (1) and substitute for Y

Substitute
Distributive property
Multiply both sides by (X+10)
Distribute and simplify.
Additive inverse of 1800x and 20000.
Divide by 10.
Factor the equation.
and
From equation (2),

For X=-60,



For X=30,




Two solution pairs:
X=-60 and Y=-40
and
X=30 and Y=50
