Answer: 12 blue marbles
Step-by-step explanation: Set up a proportion.
4/5 = x/15
Solve for x, the number of blue marbles. Cross multiply. You will get 60 = 5x
Divide by 5 on each side.
x = 12

terms is x first then terms in y and constant after the equals
Its C
Step-by-step explanation:
let age of samantha be 3x and age of jason be x.(since samantha is three times as old as jason)
Now,
3x+x=56 (sum of their ages is 56)
or 4x=56
or x=56/4
or x=14
therefore age of samantha=3x=3×14=42
age of jason = x = 14
