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

CRITICAL THINKING The total area of the polygon is 176 square feet. What is the value of $x$ ?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

this figure involves two triangle and one rectangle

for area of rectangle= Length * Width = 16 * 8 = 128 feet^2

for area of one triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * x *8 = 4x

for two triangles = 8x ft^2 total

whole area = two triangles + one rectangle

176 = 8x + 128

8x =48

x = 6
