Parentheses first
9q-14+3q-3(8)=7
9q-14+3q-24=7
Combine like terms
9q + 3q - 14 - 24 = 7
12q -38=7
add 38 to both sides
12q - 38 + 38 = 7 + 38
12q = 45
divide both sides by 12
q = 45/12
q = 3.75
Well both children has 110 marbles between them, and one child lost half and the other lost 20 so then it said they had an equal number so the other girl must had 20 so that makes 40 and 110-40= 80 so 80 is like the marbles that are left
