Answer:

You would have 4 red marbles and 8 blue marbles since you didn't return the ones you took out to the bag.

Explanation:

6 - 2 = 4

The 8 would stay the same

There for you would have 4 red marbles and 8 blue marbles left in the bag. Totalled you have 12 marbles in the bag and 2 out of the bag. (8 + 4 = 12)

Including the marbles in and out of the bag you have 14 marbles. The 12 inside the bag + the 2 outside of the bag = 14 marbles totalled.
