Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent as
w=wally
a=ashan
so wally has 2 more marbles than ashan
w=2+a
together they have 88
w+a=88
since w=2+a, subsitute (2+a) for w in the w+a=88 equation
2+a+a=88
add like terms
2+2a=88
subtract 2 from both sides
2a=86
divide by 2
a=43
ashan has 43 marbles
Can you give the things you have to match?
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=16
x+y=4 multiply by -2
-2x-2y=-8
3x+2y=16 ------a
-2x-2y=-8 -------b
Add equation a and b
(3x+-2x)+(2y+-2y) = 16+(-8)
x+0=8 (y has been eliminated)
