Answer:
I think there would be 86 blue marbles
x=4(106 - x ) + 6
x= 424 - 4x + 6
5x= 430
x= 86 blue marbles
Tell me if I'm wrong, hope this helps.
Move the 14 over and get
5x = 2
divide by 5
x = 2/5
Logically, he would owe 14 less each week
Let x = # of weeks passed
Algebraic Expression: 141 - 14x =
Week 1: 141 - 14 = 127
Week 2: 141 - 14(2) = 113
Week 3: 141 - 14(3) = 99
etc.....
Hope this helps
