please Solve part B, thanks

3. Two fresh feed streams containing benzene (B), toluene (T), and xylene (X) are fed to Column 1 in the separation system shown in the diagram below. All of the xylene (X) entering Column 1 is recovered to Stream 3. All of the xylene (X) entering Column 3 is recovered to Stream 6. Of the total benzene (B) in the fresh feed to Column 1, 4% is recovered to Stream 3. All streams are completely labelled. a) Before solving part (b), calculate the number of degrees-of-freedom for each of the following systems. Be sure to give a list (e.g., of unknowns) as well as the number.
