Answer: Mark has 28 marbles while Don has 85 marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of marbles that Mark has.
Let y represent the number of marbles that Don has.
If Don has 1 more than 3 times the number of marbles Mark has, it means that
y = 3x + 1
The total number of marbles is 113. It means that
x + y = 113- - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting y = 3x + 1 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 3x + 1 = 113
4x + 1 = 113
4x = 113 - 1 = 112
x = 112/4
x = 28
y = 3x + 1 = 3 × 28 + 1
y = 85
3+2g=5g-9
5g-2g=3+9
3g=12
3g/3=12/3
g=4
I drew it pictorially but think of it as 5 sandwiches divided by 3 sisters. Therefore it’s 5/3
Y=-1/3+5
hope this helps have a great day :)
Hello!
The answer is z = 16..
Solve it like this..
#1) Regroup terms
-3 = -7+z/4 ---> -3 = z/4 - 7
#2) Add 7 to both sides.
-3 = z/4 - 7 ---> -3 + 7 = z/4
#3) Do the addition.
-3 + 7 = z/4 ---> 4 = z/4
#4) Multiply both sides by 4.
4 = z/4 ---> 4 * 4 = z.
#5) Do the multiplication.
4 * 4 = z ---> 16 = z
Hope this helps! ☺♥
