Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = Lucy, C = Carol and A = Arita , x = Total amount of marbles

Lucy shares 1/3 with Carol and keeps 1/4 for herself.

This means that Carol has 1/3 of the total amount of marbles, Lucy has 1/4 of the total amount of marbles.

C = 1/3x

L = 1/4x

We are also told that Carol has 7 more marbles than Lucy

C = L + 7

Since C = 1/3x  and L = 1/4x you can sub these into the above equation and you get:

1/3x = 1/4x + 7

Subtract 1/4x from both sides

1/3x - 1/4x = 7

1/12x = 7

Multiply both sides by 12 to find x.

x = 7 times 12 = 84 (Total amount of marbles = 84)

Amrita gets the remaining number of marbles.

A = x - C - L

A = 84 - 1/3 (84) - 1/4 (84)

A = 35

-10 = y/11 - 13<br><br> solve for y
Flauer [41]

Answer:

10=y/11-13

We move all terms to the left:

-10-(y/11-13)=0

-y/11+13-10=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

-y+13*11-10*11=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1y+33=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

-y=-33

y=-33/-1

y=+33
