Probability that first $2$ drawn balls are red

probability

A bag contain $9$ red and $12$ blue balls. If $4$ balls are selected randomly without replacement, then find the probability that the first $2$ balls are red.

What I tried: Let $A$ be the event the first drawn ball is red and $B$ be the event that the second drawn ball is red. Then $P(A)=8/21$ and $P(B)=7/20$.

If first $2$ drawn balls are red. Then other $2$ drawn balls are both red or blue or one red one blue.

But I don't understand how this helps.

Please help me! Thanks!

$$P(RRXX)=\frac{9}{21}\times \frac{8}{20}\times \frac{19}{19} \times \frac{18}{18}=\frac{6}{35}$$
