Answer:

The equation that represents the situation is x + 6 = 24

The value of x that makes the equation true is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim has x marbles,

Number of marble with Tim = x

The number of marbles Nirja has is 6 more than the number of marbles Tim has.

Number of marbles with Nirja = x + 6

Nirja has 24 marbles .

That is

x + 6 = 24

The equation that represents the situation is x + 6 = 24

On solving

x = 24 - 6 = 18

The value of x that makes the equation true is 18
