Answer: Mark has 28 marbles while Don has 85 marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of marbles that Mark has.

Let y represent the number of marbles that Don has.

If Don has 1 more than 3 times the number of marbles Mark has, it means that

y = 3x + 1

The total number of marbles is 113. It means that

x + y = 113- - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = 3x + 1 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 3x + 1 = 113

4x + 1 = 113

4x = 113 - 1 = 112

x = 112/4

x = 28

y = 3x + 1 = 3 × 28 + 1

y = 85

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

y = 1 , x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 10

x = 2y + 1

3(2y + 1) + y = 10

6y + 3 + y = 10

7y = 7

y = 1

x = 2(1) + 1

x = 3
