You’ve decided to give your best friend a bag of marbles for his birthday. Since you know that your friend likes green marbles better than red ones, the bag has twice as many green marbles as red. The label on the bag says it contains a total of 84 marbles.

How many green marbles are in the bag? Write an equation (or system of equations) for this problem. Then solve the problem using any method you choose. Be sure to check your answer when you are finished.
