Answer:

There are 49 white marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

w + g = 62        (w = white and g = green marbles).

w = 4g - 3

w - 4g = -3        Subtract this equation from the first equation:

g - (-4g) =  62 - (-3)

5g = 65

g = 65/5 = 13.

So w = 62 - 13 = 49.

Translate (in terms of x) then solve the algebraic equation. When the sum of a number and 2 is subtracted from 13 the result is
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
13 - (x+2) = 8
subtract 13 from both sides
-(x+2) = -5
divide by -1 to get rid of negative
(x+2) = 5
subtract 2 from both sides
x=3

Solve the equation: n + 32 = 60.
Digiron [165]
N + 32 = 60

First, so basically, we are trying to find a number that can add up with 32 to equal 60. The easiest route to solve this is to simply take 32 and subtract it from 60.
n = 60 - 32

Second, once we subtract, we will be given the answer and know what 'n' is. Subtract 60 - 32 to get your answer. 60 - 32 = 28
n = 28

Third, know that we know that the answer to 'n' is 28, we can check it by adding 28 + 32. Your answer should be 60, and 28 is the correct answer.

Answer: \fbox {n = 28}
