The problem given can be solve using one variable. so let x be the total vote
x = x(5/8) + 5/9(x - x(5/8)) + 48
so solve for x
x - x(5/8) - 5/9(x - x(5/8)) = 48
x - x(5/8) - x(5/9) + x(25/72) = 48
x(1/6) = 48
x = 48*6
x = 288
blue votes = 288(5/8) = 180
red votes = 5/9(288 - 180) = 60
students riverside = 288 + 25 = 313
