    Answer: red = 10, orange = 20

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let R represent the # of red skittles and G represent the # of orange skittles

    there are 10 less red skittles than orange skittles: R = G - 10

    orange skittles are twice the red skittles: G = 2R

    Use substitution to solve the system:

    R = (2R) - 10

    -R - R

    0 = R - 10

    +10 + 10

    10 = R

    G = 2R = 2 (10) = 20
