You can put this solution on YOUR website! six small marbles and four large have a combines weight of 30 g, whilst seven small marbles and two large marbles have weight of 23 g. FInd the weight of a large marble.
----------
Equations:
6s + 4L = 30g
7s + 2L = 23g
---------
Modify::
42s + 28L = 210g
42s + 12L = 138g
-----
Subtract and solve for "L"::
16L = 72
L = 4.5 grams (weight of a large marble)
