The Williams family and the Taylor family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Williams family's sprinkler was 25L per hour. The water output rate for the Taylor family's sprinkler was 20L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 65 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1475L. How long was each sprinkler used?

The William's family used the sprinklers for 59 hours.

Because it used 25L per hour so 25/1 is 25 so then you multiply 1475 by  25 and you get 59

= used sprinklers for 59 hours.

 The Taylor family used the sprinklers for 73.75 hours.

Because  it used 20L per hour so 20/1 is 20 then you multiply 1475 by 20 and you get 73.75

= Used  sprinklers for 73.75 hours.

thats not a system of equations, that is a solution
