Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = d before Anna gives away 50 marbles.

 

5 (a-50) = a +50 after Anna gives away 50 marbles.

 

5a - 250 = a + 50

 

4a = 300

 

a = 75

 

Anna has 75 marbles at the beginning and so did David.

 

Together they have 150 marbles.

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

Originally, they had the same number, so they both had x marbles each.

David: x

Amrita: x

Amrita gives 50 marbles to David. Now they have:

David: x + 50

Amrita: x - 50

"he had 5 times as many marbles as her"

x + 50 = 5(x - 50)

x + 50 = 5x - 250

-4x = -300

x = 75

Each had 75 marbles to start with.

75 + 75 = 150

The total is 150.

I need help with these TWO QUESTIONS.
Bond [772]
1) Since there are 16 ounces in a pound you multiply 16 by the number of pounds. So 6x16=96 then add the extra ounces and your answer is 100 oz.

2) Seth finished faster because she finished in 24 second, since there are 3 feet per yard, you multiply 3x200=600, then, you divide 600 feet by 25 feet and you get 24. So Seth finished in 24 seconds
