There are 74 white marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of white and red marbles = 90

Let the number of red marbles be 'x'.

Let the number of white marbles be '5x-6'

According to question, it becomes,

$5x-6+x=90\\\\6x=90+6\\\\6x=96\\\\x=\dfrac{96}{6}\\\\x=16$

So, there are $5x-6=5\times 16-6=80-6=74$ white marbles.

Hence, there are 74 white marbles.
