Herb's solution works perfectly, but since you indicated in a comment that you were expecting for another one, maybe that's it.

[fen "7k/4Kp2/P4Np1/6R1/8/R6P/8/8 w - - 1 0"]

    

  1. Rag3 Kg7
    2. 

  2. Rh5 g5
    3. 

  3. Rgxg5#
    4.

Edit:

Here is a simple suggestion to fix the cook and make this solution the only one:

[fen "7k/4Kp2/P4Np1/6R1/7P/R7/8/8 w - - 1 0"]

    

  1. Rag3 (1.Rh5? gxh5 2.Rg3? {stalemate}) (1.h5 Kg7) Kg7
    2. 

  2. Rh5 g5
    3. 

  3. Rgxg5#
    4.

    Yes, this is the one i meant. Unfortunately it's a bad puzzle because it has two solutions. I overlooked that. – Albert Hendriks May 16 '18 at 16:53
  • It should not be too hard to avoid the cook. Anyway, having two solutions is acceptable for an exercise, but not for a problem. – Evargalo May 16 '18 at 16:56
