Answer:

238

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of marbles Sam has be x, then

Jim has x + 92 ← 92 more than Sam

After swap of 18 marbles

Sam has x - 18 and sam has x + 92 + 18 = x + 110

Jim now has twice as many as Sam, that is

x + 110 = 2(x - 18)

x + 110 = 2x - 36 ( subtract x from both sides )

110 = x - 36 ( add 36 to both sides )

146 = x

At first Jim had 146 + 92 = 238 marbles

A raindrop falls at 200m per minute. how long will it take a raindrop to travel 6000m?
Kryger [21]
The first thing you should know is that by definition:
 d = v * t
 Where
 d: distance
 v: speed
 t: time
 We then have to clear the time:
 t = (d) / (v)
 Substituting the values:
 t = (6000) / (200)
 t = 30 minutes
 Answer: 
 It will take a raindrop to travel 6000m about: 
 t = 30 minutes
