x + y = 60
4.49x + 5.95y = 317
substitution method x = 60 - y
4.95(60 - y) + 5.95y = 317
297 - 4.95y + 5.95 = 317
1y + 297 = 317
y + 297 - 297 = 317 - 297
y = 20
x + 20 = 60
x + 20 - 20 = 60 -20
x = 40
4.49x + 5.95y = 317
substitution method x = 60 - y
4.95(60 - y) + 5.95y = 317
297 - 4.95y + 5.95 = 317
1y + 297 = 317
y + 297 - 297 = 317 - 297
y = 20
x + 20 = 60
x + 20 - 20 = 60 -20
x = 40
