So....What's in the Bag?

In front of me, I have level scales. On each side, there are 3 bags. In each bag, there are some marbles. There are 150 Marbles in total. Using the clues below, work out how many marbles are in each bag.

Bag 1 + Bag 2 = 56 marbles
Bag 1 + Bag 3 = 54 marbles
Bag 2 + Bag 3 = 40 marbles
-------------------
Bag 4 + Bag 5 = 61 marbles
Bag 4 + Bag 6 = 37 marbles
Bag 5 + Bag 6 = 52 marbles

Your task is to label the bags 1-6 and tell how many marbles are in each bag!

Bag 1 =
Bag 2 =
Bag 3 =
Bag 4 =
Bag 5 =
Bag 6 =
