Answer: 1045 cm of red ribbon and 1045 cm of yellow ribbon

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let R represent the amount red ribbon and Y represent the amouont of yellow ribbon.

  • bought the same lengths of red and yellow: R = Y
  • after used 286 of red, yellow is 5 times the remaining red; 5(R - 836) = Y

Use substitution method to solve:

5(R - 836) = R

5R - 4180 = R   <em>distributed 5 on the left side</em>

4R - 4180 = 0   <em>subtracted R from both sides</em>

4R = 4180         <em>added 4180 to both sides</em>

R = 1045         <em>divided both sides by 4</em>
