<em /><em>PURPLE MARBLES=P
WHITE MARBLES=W

</em>First, write out an equation showing the number of purple marbles.
P=5W-6
Then, write out the main equation.
W+P=96
W+5W-6=96
Add 6 to both sides.
W+5W=102
6W=102
Divide both sides by 6
W=17
Now that we know there are 17 white marbles, we can go back to the equation about how many purple marbles there are. 
P=5W-6
Plug in the value for W, which is 17.
P=5(17)-6
P=85-6
P=79

To make sure your answer is correct, check your work by plugging in the values for P+W=96.
79+17=96
Answer: There are 79 purple marbles.

If angle YWZ = 17, what is angle WXY?
marusya05 [52]
We know that

step 1
if ∡YWZ=17°
then
∡XWZ=17°*2-----> 34°----> because triangle XWY and triangle YWZ are congruents

step 2
∡WXY=∡WZY-------> because triangle XWY and triangle YWZ are congruents
we know that 
<span>the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180 degrees
</span>so
180°=∡XWZ+2*∡WXY---------> ∡WXY=[180-∡XWZ]/2
∡WXY=[180-34°]/2-------> ∡WXY=73°

the answer is
∡WXY=73°

The difference between two numbers is less than 0.
Serhud [2]
The 2 numbers cannot be positive but the 2 numbers can be both positive and negative like: 2+(-3)= -1. Both numbers can also be negative like:  (-3)-(-2)=-1.

Solve and graph: 7x-6&gt;22<br>(pls explain your answer, im confused on this)​
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

x>4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving an inequality is very similar to solving an equation:

Given: 7x-6>22

Add 6 to both sides: 7x>28

Divide both side by 7: x>4

x>4 means that all x-values that are greater than 4 will work. Therefore you would write an open dot at x=4 on the number line to show that 4 isn't included, and draw an arrow going right to show all possible solutions greater than 4.
