Let +a+ = number of trumpet players
Let +b+ = number of saxophone players
---------------------
(1) +a+=+b+-+10+
(2) +b+=+3a+
----------------
Substitute (2) into (1)
(1) +a+=+3a+-+10+
(1) +2a+=+10+
(1) +a+=+5+
and
(2) +b+=+3%2A5+
(2) +b+=+15+
------------------
There are 5 trumpet players
and 15 saxophone players
