okapi=o llama=l

o+l=450

3l=190+o

I cant remember how to work it out but if you have a graphics calculator you would open a calculator page, press Menu:3:1 (solve function) and type in those equations. It would look like this:

solve(o+l=450 and 3l=190o,o)

l=160 o=290

llamas are 160kg and okapis are 290kg. Hope that helped a bit :)
