texaschic101 · Answer

r + g = 300
5r + 3g = 1080

these are the equations you will need. Can you solve it from here ? It can be easily solved with substitution.

texaschic101 · Answer

r + g = 300
r = 300 - g
now sub 300 - g in for r in the other equation and you will find g.
Then sub that back into either of the equations to find r. Does that make sense to you ?
