Simplify the first eq:

x+y = 5-x+5-y

2x +2y =10

Simplify the second eq:

x-y=x-1+y-1

-2y = -2

y =1            Sub this into the first equation   2x+2(1)=10    2x+2=10  x = 4       ordered pair = (4,1)

Thanks, EP....Here's another way

Just add the equations and we get that

2x  = 4 + 4

2x = 8

x = 4

Sub this back into the first equation to find y

4 + y  = ( 5 - 4) + ( 5 - y)

4 + y   =  6 - y

2y = 2

y = 1
