Change the problem statement, question to this:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Where do the equations 2x+5y=145 and x+y=50 intersect?
--------------------------------------------------------------


system%282x%2B5y=145%2Cx%2By=50%29

system%282x%2B5y=145%2C2x%2B2y=100%29
Subtract corresponding members to eliminate the x.
3y=45
y=15
-
x%2By=50
x=50-y
x=50-15
x=35
-
INTERSECTION POINT, (35, 15).
