Answer:

geraldo has 9 marbles and yan has 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x-3) = 21

x + x - 3 = 21

2 x - 3 = 21

Explanation:

In this problem, let us first analyze the situation. It says here that Geraldo and Yan both had marbles of their own. The problem states that together, they have a total of 21 marbles. However, we know here from the problem that they have different number of marbles each. Geraldo seems to have lesser number of marbles than Yan. Yan have three marbles more than Geraldo.

We can write the equation starting from assigning the unknown.

We'll use x.

x is the number of marbles that Yan have.

if x is Yan's, then, we can say that x-3 is Geraldo's.

Put them together into the equation.

Yan's plus Geraldo's is equal to 21.

Substitute using the represented unknowns.

x + (x-3) = 21.

In solving, we can also rule out that:

x + x - 3 = 21

2 x - 3 = 21

2 x = 21 + 3

2 x = 24

x = 12

x - 3 = 9

Yan has 12 marbles

and Geraldo has 9 marbles.

a rectangular pool is 20 ft wide and 50 ft long. the deck is the same width all the way around the pool. the total area of the d
Alex
First, we need to get the total area of the rectangular pool.
Area = l * w
Area = 20 ft * 50 ft
Area = 1000 ft^2

Then the deck is 456 ft^2 with the width of 20ft, the same as the rectangular pool.

Area = l * w
456 = l * 20
l = 456 / 20
l = 22.8 ft.

So the walkway is 22.8ft wide.
