Let's first take a look at the first equation. We want to put x in terms of y. 

So, solving the equation, we have

x+y=10xyx=5y

 

Now, subsituting this into the second equation, we get that

5yy=(5y1)+y1

This simplifies to 

52y=3

 

Now, for this equation, we get that y is equal to 1. 

Thus, subsituting this value into x, we find that

x=51=4

 

Thus, the answers for the equation are

x=4,y=1

 

So our final answer is (4,1)

 

Thanks! :)
