16

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be modeled using the equation 3x+4=52 (x is the purple marbles). To solve this equation subtract 4 from both sides, making it 3x=48. divide both by three showing x=16. This shows that 16 is the answer.

The ages of two brothers are in the ratio two to three, but in eight years, the ratio of their ages will be three to four. What

Darina [25.2K]

X = older brother
y = younger brother

Equation 1: x/y = 2/3 ⇒ x = 2y/3
Equation 2: x + 8/y + 8 = 3/4

$( \frac{2y}{3} + 8) / y +8 = \frac{3}{4}$
$(2y + 24)/3 = y + 8 = \frac{3}{4}$
$2y + 24 = 3 (y + 8) = \frac{3}{4}$
$2y + 24 = 3y + 24 = \frac{3}{4}$
$4 (2y + 24) = 3 (3y + 24)$
$8y + 96 = 9y + 72$
$y = 24$

The age of the older brother is 24.

$x = \frac{2y}{3} = \frac{2*24}{3}$
$x = \frac{48}{3}$
$x = 16$

The age of the youngest brother is 16.
