20000=.3(28x+36y)-65000 and x+y=10000
Using x + y = 10000 subtract x from both sides....so y = 10000 - x.....and substituting this into the first equation, we have
20000 = .3(28x + 36(10000-x)) - 65000
20000 = .3(28x + 360000 - 36x) - 65000
20000 = .3(360000 - 8x) - 65000
20000 = 108000 - 2.4x - 65000
20000 = 43000 - 2.4x subtraact 43000 from both sides
-23000 = -2.4x divide both sides by -2.4
x = about 9583.33
So y =10000 - x = 10000 - 9583.33 = about 416.66
