Answer: 3r + 2b = 24

r + 3b = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the red blocks be represented by r

Let blue blocks be represented by b

Since 3 red blocks and 2 blue blocks weigh 24 ounces. This will be:

3r + 2b = 24

1 red block and 3 blue blocks weigh 16 ounces. This will be:

r + 3b = 16

Therefore, the equation will be:

3r + 2b = 24

r + 3b = 16
