disks are there?​

Answer:

blue = 35

green = 29

red = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = red

Let g = green

let b = blue

r + g + b = 102

r = b + 3

b = g + 6    Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

b - 6 = g

===================

substitute for red and green

(b + 3) + b + b - 6 = 102

b + 3 + b + b - 6 = 102

Combine like terms

3b - 3 = 102

Add 3 to both sides

3b - 3 + 3 = 102 + 3

3b = 105

Divide by 3

3b/3 = 105/3

b = 35

======================

r = b + 3

r = 35 + 3

r = 38

=======================

g = b - 6

g = 35 - 6

g = 29

========================
