Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's represent the total number of marbles with the variable t. We have the following information.
1/2t+1/6t+8=t (1/2 of total are red, 1/6 of total are blue, 8 are white, add them up to get total)
Now, we solve for t.
1/2t+1/6t+8=t
We combine like terms.
2/3t+8=t
We subtract t from both sides.
-1/3t+8=0
We subtract 8 from both sides.
-1/3t=-8
We divide both sides by -1/3.
t=24
Therefore, there ae 24 total marbles in the bag.
Have a wonderful day! :D
