Answer:
There are 42 red colour socks and 44 green color socks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there are r red socks and g green socks.
ATQ,
He has three times times as many red socks subtracted from four times as many green socks which he believes is 50 socks.
4g-3r=50 ....(1)
Half the number of green socks plus one-third of the number of red socks is 36.
Multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.
8g-6r = 100 ....(3)
9g +6r = 648 ....(4)
Add equation (3) and (4)
8g-6r + 9g +6r = 100+648
17g = 748
g = 44
Put the value of g in equation (1).
4(44)-3r=50
176-3r = 50
176-50 = 3r
r = 42
Hence, there are 42 red colour socks and 44 green color socks.
