Answer:

You will have 128 orange marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as an equation

Variable x = number of orange marbles

3/8 = 48/x

Cross multiply

3 × x = 8 × 48

3x = 384

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable

3x ÷ 3 = 384 ÷ 3

1x = 128

x = 128

128 orange marbles

Check work:

Substitute the variable x for the answer

3/8 = 48/128

Cross multiply

3 × 128 = 8 × 48

384 = 384

If the numbers equal, the answer is correct

Answer:

I think that x equals 14

Step-by-step explanation:

So 136 is a vertical angle to the angle under it, which then makes it a corresponding angle to (9x+10), so 9x+10 should equal 136, so I believe x=14.
