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
Answer:
9y
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to have a mathematical representation
the product of 9 and a number y means we have to multiply 9 by the number y as follows;
= y * 9 = 9y
2/5 + 2/4 = 8/20 + 10/20 = 18/20 = 9/10
You can use a calculator for this if your teacher lets you to make it easier
