5. Two species struggling to compete against each other in the same environment have populations at time t of r(t) and y(t), satisfying the equations x' (t) = 3r(t) - 4y(t), ý(t) = 2x(t) + 3(t). Find the second-order differential equation satisfied by r(t). Hence find r(t) and y(t).

Hi, I have a differential equations question. Thanks.
5. Two species struggling to compete against each other in the same environment
have populations at time t of r(t) and y(t), satisfying the equations
r' (t) = 3r(t) - 4y(t), ý(t) = 2x(t) +g(t).
Find the second-order differential equation satisfied by r(t).
Hence find r(t) and y(t).
