Answer:
There are 26 purple marbles in the bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, you have to make an expression in terms of x where x represent red marbles. Given that the question says purple marbles is 2 more than 3 times the number of red marbles. So the expression is :
Let red marbles = x,


Next, given that the total marbles in the bag is 34 so you have to add both marbles together and solve the value of x :




Lastly, you have to substitute the value of x into the expression of purple marbles :
Let x = 8,


The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,
1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)
Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.
So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.
