Question

A bag contains yellow marbles and blue marbles, 73 in total. The number of yellow marbles is 7 more than 5 times the number of blue marbles. How many yellow marbles are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

number of yellow marbles=62.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that in a bag there are yellow marbles and blue marbles and the total number of marbles=73.

Let the number of Blue marbles=x, then according to the question, number of yellow marbles will be =5x+7.

Now, Total number of marbles= number of yellow marbles+number of blue marbles.

⇒73=x+5x+7

⇒73-7=6x

⇒66=6x

⇒x=11

Therefore, numberof blue marbles=x=11 and

number of yellow marbles=5x+7=5(11)+7=55+7=62.
