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.

Polygon LMNOP was transformed to create polygon L'M'N'O'P'.2 pentagons have identical side lengths and angle measures. The point
algol13

The Angle that would correspond to Angle N after the transformation is; Angle N'

<h3>How to Interpret Transformations?</h3>

A polygon is defined as a two-dimensional geometric figure that has a finite number of sides. The sides of a polygon are made of straight line segments connected to each other end to end. Thus, the line segments of a polygon are called sides or edges.

In the transformation of  LMNOP to create polygon L'M'N'O'P', we have that;

L corresponds to L'

M corresponds to M'

N corresponds to N'

O corresponds to O'

P corresponds to P'

Thus, we can conclude that Angle N would correspond to Angle N'
