1. Kindly please create your own thread for your own questions, rather than hijacking somebody else's thread.
2. You have read all the hints, etc, which were provided to the original poster. How did you apply those to your question?

Please be complete. Thank you!

It should be fairly simple to solve that system. Have you tried? (the "+5y" and "-5y" make it look remarkably easy to me!) What did you get as a solution?

(Was that really the statement of the problem? There is fundamental difficulty with it!)
