Given :
A bag contains 120 marbles. Some are red and the rest are black. There are 17 red marbles for every 3 black marbles.
To Find :
How many red marbles are in the bag.
Solution :
Let, number of red and black marbles are x and y respectively.
So, x + y = 120 ....1)
Now, it is given that there are 17 red marbles for every 3 black marbles.
So, 3x = 17y ....2)
Putting value of x from equation 2) to equation 1), we get :

Therefore, the number of red and black marbles are 102 and 18 respectively.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
“The area of a rectangular garden is 120 square meters.”
LW = 120
“The width is 4 meters longer than one-half of the length.”
W = 0.5L + 4
L = 2W-8
Substitution
(2W-8)W = 120
2W^2-8W-120 = 0
W^2 -4W-60 = 0
W = 10, -6
-6 is an extraneous solution.
W = 10 meters
L = 2W-8 = 12 meters
