Well if you're wanting to use substitution, you first have to end up with one term on either side of the equation. Use the second one as it's easiest.
So: x-2y=11, so find -2y as there is a -2y in the first equation.
then that becomes -2y=11-x. then sub that into equation 1, and you get:
-x+11-x=-13, which equals to -2x+11=-13, which is -2x=-24, so therefore
x=12. then chuck the x into any of the equations to find what y equals.

They sold 50 pounds in January.
To find this you just need to divide 250 by 5 since the amount sold in May is 5 times more.
Hope this helps :)
Answer + Explanation:
let x be the measure of angle x
let y be the measure of angle y
Now, solve:
plug x = 24 + y into x + y = 180
24 + y + y = 180
24 + 2y = 180
2y = 156
y = 78
Now, plug this back into the equation x = 24 + 78
x = 102
