Ryan's marbles = x
Marie has 4 times less marbles then Ryan would have if he lost 15 marbles (it means he would have x-15)
So, Marie marbles = (x-15):4
If Ryan lost 75 marbles (it means he would have x-75), he would have 1 1/2 times as many marbles as Marie.

We got an equation: $x-75=1\frac{1}2\cdot\frac{x-15}{4}$

          $x-75=\frac{3}2\cdot\frac{x-15}{4}$

Multiply both sides by 8:     $8x-8\cdot75=3\cdot(x-15)$

      $8x-600=3x-45$

Add 600 and subtract 3x on both sides:    $5x=555$

Divide both sides by 5:    $x=111$

Answer: Ryan have 111 marbles.
