How many red , blue, and green marbles do I have? PLEASE ANSWER! I"LL GIVE CORRECT ANSWER AS THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER! I NEED HELP

There are 9 red, 21 greens and 31 blues

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equations

Let

R=# red

G=# green

B=# blue

I have 5 less blue marbles than 4 times the red marbles.

B=4R-5 (1)

I have 3 more green marbles than 2 times the number of red marbles.

G=2R+3(2)

All together I have 61 marbles.

R+G+B=61 (3)

Solution:

substitute (1) & (2) in (3)

R + 2R+3 + 4R-5 = 61

Simplify

7R = 61+2 = 63

R = 63/7 = 9 (4)

Substitute (4) in (1)

B = 4R-5 = 4(9) - 5 = 36-5 = 31

Substitute (4) in (2)

G = 2R+3 = 2(9) + 3 = 18+3 = 21

the answer is 1/4
