Let's define the variables as follows:
- Let \( xx \) represent the number of Phillips screwdrivers.
- Let \( yy \) represent the number of flathead screwdrivers.
According to the problem, we can form the following two equations:
1. The total number of screwdrivers is 25:
\[
xx + yy = 25
\]
2. The number of flatheads is 1 more than the number of Phillips:
\[
yy = xx + 1
\]
These equations will help you in solving the problem in the next step!
