According to the meaning of the question, {x+y= 10.
{ x+2y= 15
Solve the equations and get {x=5.
{ y=5
The distance between Xiaohua's home and school is 60x+80y=300+400=700 (meters).
Xiaohua's home is 700 meters away from school.
(Solution 2) Solution: Let the horizontal road be x meters and the slope be y meters.
According to the meaning, {x/60+y/80= 10.
{ x/60+y/40= 15
Solve equations, and {x=300.
{400 yuan
So x+y = 300+400 = 700.
Xiaohua's home is 700 meters away from school.
(Exactly)
