Drew has 50 red, green, blue, marbles. He has six more red marbles than blue marbles and four green marbles than blue marbles. Write and solve an equation to

\(x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\Gamma \)

.

Drew has 50 red, green, blue, marbles. He has six more red marbles than blue marbles and four green marbles than blue marbles. Write and solve an equation to determine how many blue marbles Drew has.

 

Blue marbles=B

Red marbles=B+6

Green marbles=B+4

 

B+(B+6)+(B+4)=50

3B=50-6-4

3B=40

B=40/3

B=13 1/3 BLUE MARBLES!!!!!. YOU MADE THIS ONE UP YOURSELF, DIDN'T YOU? CHANGE THE TOTAL TO 70 MARBLES, SO THAT YOU HAVE AN EVEN NUMBER:

60/3=20 Blue marbles

20+6=26 Red marbles

20+4=24 Green marbles
