    x - cost of karate lessons

    y - cost of ballet lessons

    {x + y = 80

    {x + 10 = 2y

    {x = 80 - y

    {80 - y + 10 = 2y

    {x = 80 - y

    {90 - y = 2y | + y

    {x = 80 - y

    {90 = 3y | : 3

    {x = 80 - y

    {y = 30

    {x = 50

    {y = 30

    Answer: He spends on ballet lesson $30.
