    Let x = the number of yellow flowers

    Let y = the number of red flowers.

    There are a total of 75 flowers, therefore

    x + y = 75 (1)

    For every 5 red flowers, there are 10 yellow flowers, therefore

    x = 2y (2)

    Substitute (2) into (1).

    2y + y = 75

    3y = 75

    y = 25

    x = 2*y = 50

    Answer: 25 red flowers.
