(1) R+G+B=50
(2) R=B+6
(3) G=B-4 so substitute G in (1)
R+B-4+B=50 substitute (2) in here
B+6+B-4+B=50 group like terms and solve
3B+2=50
3B=50-2
B=48/3=16 substitute in (2) and (3)
R=16+6=22
G=16-4=12
Check
22+12+16=50✅

givi [52]
Subtract 6 from 50:
50-6 = 44
Divide 44 by 2:
44/2 = 22

add 6:

22+6 = 28

There is 22 in the smaller class and 28 in the larger class.
