16 balls. 

Let's call x the total number of golf balls that Ricardo had before he lost the first 6 balls. (x - 6).
Then he bought 12 more and lost 4 so basically 12 - 4 = 8
Add that to the equation: (x-6) + 8
And now that he has 18 golf balls at end of the second day the total must add to 18.

Full equation: (x-6) + 8 = 18

(x-6) + 8 = 18
(x-6) = 18 - 8 <-- Transpose
(x-6) = 10
16 - 6 = 10 <-- What would x have to be inoder to make this equation true? 16!
So x = 16

16 is the number of golf balls the Ricardo began with.

Plz helpppp I don’t GET THIS
Liono4ka [1.6K]
First you have to find 1/3 of the marbles. That means in the twelve marvels she has, there are three even groups. Divide twelve by three and you get four. So if each group is four, it is simple from here on out. If she started out with twelve and she lost 1/3 of them(4) it would be 12-4. You know this because lost is another for for subtract. 12-4=8. She has 8 marbles left.
