Description should be rewritten.
x would be how many haircuts and y would be how many haircuts with blow-dry.

system%28x%2By=25%2C18x%2B28y=600%29

a simplification
system%28x%2By=25%2C9x%2B14y=300%29

Just looking at that system, do you see this?
system%289x%2B9y=225%2C9x%2B14y=300%29

5y=75

y=15andx=10
