Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's represent the total number of marbles with the variable t. We have the following information.

1/2t+1/6t+8=t (1/2 of total are red, 1/6 of total are blue, 8 are white, add them up to get total)

Now, we solve for t.

1/2t+1/6t+8=t

We combine like terms.

2/3t+8=t

We subtract t from both sides.

-1/3t+8=0

We subtract 8 from both sides.

-1/3t=-8

We divide both sides by -1/3.

t=24

Therefore, there ae 24 total marbles in the bag.

Have a wonderful day! :D

There is a wide range of graph that contain asymptotes and that includes rational functions, hyperbolic functions, tangent curves, and more.

A company pays its commercial agents 5% of any deal. What should the value of a deal be for the agent to earn $2000?
Nataly_w [17]
The value of the deal should be $40,000.


remember that 5% as a decimal is .05.Let x = value of deal
The equation would be .05x = $2000 
Divide both sides by 0.05.
x=40,000
