    Could you explain your answer? This problem had me stumped.

    I got the same answer. Find the similar patterns with only one different letter, and find the difference between the two swapped letters.

    2R + W + B = 91
    2B + 2W = 50
    2B + W + R = 65
    2W + R + B = ?
    
    2B + 2W + 15 = 2B + W + R
    2W + 15 = W + R
    W + 15 = R
    
    2(W+15) + W + B = 91
    2W + 30 + W + B = 91
    3W + 30 + B = 91
    3W + B = 61
    
    B = 61 - 3W
    R = W + 15
    
    2(61 - 3W) + 2W = 50
    122 - 6W + 2W = 50
    122 - 4W = 50
    72 = 4W
    W = 18
    R = 33
    B = 7
    
    2W + R + B = 76
