Notice that because the capacity of the bowl is 35.5 ounces, but there has already been 31.25 ounces total added to it (23.5 ounces + 7.75 ounces), all that needs to be done is subtract 31.25 from 35.5:
35.5 - 31.25 = 4.25 ounces of cream could be added
-2x-y=3 ...(1)
x+2y=4 ...(2)
multiply (2) by 2 and add to (1)
-2x-y+2x+4y=3+8
3y=11
y=11/3
from (2)
x=4-2y=4-2(11/3)
or x=4-(22/3)
=(12-22)/3=-10/3
