If you mean: 2x-y=5 and x-2y=1 then by multiplication, elimination and substitution it works out that x=3 and y=1
There are several methods. 1. graphing, then find the intersection. 2. Substitution (take one equation and solve for one variable, substitute that into the 2nd equation) 3. Elimination. Arrange both equations in standard form, arrange so that the coefficients on one of the variables are the same and subtract the 2 equations. 4. Cramer's rule, use matrices to solve.
Use the commutative rule in math. If you do something to one side of the equation, you must do the same to the other side. Divide both sides by 2500 to get x = 5/2500, reduce the fraction to get the answer.
Take the middle digit which is 5 and multiply it by the end digit which is 9 and 9*5 = 45 but this rule is only applicable to the addition of consecutive whole numbers.

A misspelled "Rule of Thumb"
Perhaps you're thinking of the phrase, "rule of thumb".
A useful principle but not intended to be reliable in every situation. Meaning the situation applies to everything because long ago the rule of thumb meant 1 inch equals your top of your thumb, so thats the rule of thumb. Over the years it has taken a more figurative meaning.
The general rule of thumb is that you should be able to see the tires of the car in front of you touching the pavement.
there was a time when 1 inch was the 'rule of thumb' probably 25mm now
In the early centuries it was acceptable for a man to hit his wife if she did something wrong. In order to rule the beating as non abusive, the husband had to use a stick that was no bigger than his thumb. That then gave way to the term, "rule of thumb."
