Answer:

23 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of children = 10

Number of marbles = 180

Since Betsy gets the most and no 2 children gets the same number of marbles

The least number of marbles Betsy could get will be x ; with the other 9 children receiving 1 less each

That is :

Betsy = x

9th child = x - 1

8th child = x - 2,... 1st child = x - 9

Hence,

(x + x - 1 + x - 2 + x - 3 + x - 4 + x - 5 + x - 6 + x - 7 + x - 8 + x - 9) = 180

10x - 45 = 180

10x = 180 + 45

x = 225 / 10

x = 22.5

x = 23

Hence, the least Betsy could get is 23 marbles

How do I do problem number one
jolli1 [7]
So you have to find something that multiples to six but also somehow either subtracts or adds to five. So I would pick 2 and 3 because two plus three is five. Then you would write out your equation
X2+2x+5x+6
This may not be the way your teacher taught however it is much easier for me to do it this way.
