Answer:

y = 30.555 and x = 19.444

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

x + y = 50 and

x / y = 7/11

use substitution taking

x + y = 50

x = 50 - y

then

x / y = 7/11 and from above substitute for x

(50 - y)/ y = 7/11

(50 - y) = 7y/11

11(50 - y) = 7y

550 - 11y = 7y

550 = 18y

y = 550/18 = 30.555 so

x + y = 50

x = 50 - y

x = 50 - 30.555 = 19.444
