Garter Snakes

Hello, Kennet's Dad here. This is a moderately approachable, introductory puzzle to my Garden Path Line constraint. A harder puzzle with this constraint can be found here. Put your arithmetic hat on.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Box borders divide a line into segments with different sums: for red lines, one sum will be double the other; for yellow lines, one sum will be triple the other; for blue lines, one sum will be quadruple the other
- Digits in cells joined by an X sum to 10.
I have a YouTube channel where I discuss and analyze literature and poetry. And please consider a free subscription to my novel.
Solution code: Row 2, left to right

I had to go back to the good old pen and paper to solve this, which I totally had fun doing, by the way.
Thankyou for the amazing puzzle!

Very nice puzzle, that managed to get me mad twice:
The maths and that bloody eyelash...
Every part of the solve felt like a small victory! :D
Thanks! Cheers!
