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

What is the value of x in the equation one-fifthx – two-thirdsy = 30, when y = 15? 4 8 80 200
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

x = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{5} x - \frac{2}{3} y = 30 ← substitute y = 15 into the equation

\frac{1}{5} x - \frac{2}{3} × 15 = 30 , that is

\frac{1}{5} x - 10 = 30 ( add 10 to both sides )

\frac{1}{5} x = 40 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

x = 200
