Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of blue marbles be x

The number of green marbles = 3x - 2

Total marbles= 18

x + 3x -2 = 18

4x - 2 = 18

4x = 18+2

4x = 20

x =20/4

x =5

The number of blue marbles = 5

The number of green marbles = 3*5 - 2 = 15 -2 = 13

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A line segment parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is

$\frac{9}{72}$ = $\frac{1}{8}$ = $\frac{3x-20}{56}$ ( cross- multiply )

8(3x - 20) = 56

24x - 160 = 56 ( add 160 to both sides )

24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )

x = 9
