Solution: We set X people to pick the soil and Y people to carry it.

A person needs a pole and two baskets to pick up soil, and X poles and 2x baskets are needed.

Two people need a shoulder pole and a laundry list, y/2 shoulder poles and y/2 laundry lists for * * *.

According to the meaning of the question, set the equation:

x y/2=25

2x y/2=35

25-x=35-2x.x= 10.y=30

To solve this system of equations, x= 10, y=30.
