Sagot :

2. let x - no. girls

100 = 30 + x

x = 100 - 30

x = 70 girls

3. let r - red pingpong balls; b for blue

r = 5b > first eqn

60 = b + r > second eqn

substitute r to the 2nd equation

60 = 5b + b

60 = 6b

b = 10

substitute b to the first eqn

r = 5b

r = 5(10)

r = 50

blue = 10 ; red = 50
