Answer:

Were they both 45? I'm kinda confused on that part, but I think Ralph would be 48 and Bob would be 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

34 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob = B

Ralph = R

B=2R

B-3+R-3=45

B+R-6=45

+6         +6

B+R=51

Substitute B for 2R

2R+R=51

3R=51

R=17

2(17)=34

so B is 34 and R is 17
