Question: A set of equal electrical resistors in series has a total resistance (the sum of the resistances) of 78.0 . Another set of two fewer

A set of equal electrical resistors in series has a total resistance (the sum of the resistances) of 78.0 Ω. Another set of two fewer equal resistors in series also has a total resistance of 78.0 Ω. If each resistor in the second set is 1.3 Ω greater than each of the first set, how many are in each set?
