Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

let the number of red bean be x, then number of white bean is x+12, blue bean is 2x+4, and 

x+x+12+2x+4 = 112 

4x = 112-16 = 96

x = 24

red bean is 24, white bean is 36 and blue bean is 52 

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
