Y=180-111=69
x=360-123-70-69=98
That's your answer.
By changing their exponent to negative.
Ex.
First let’s express the total number of marbles as such:
y(yellow marbles) + r(red marbles)=23; y+r=23
now let’s express the relation of yellow marbles to red marbles:
y=2r(2 times red marbles) - 4(4 less marbles); y=2r-4
since we figured out what y equals, we can plug into the first equation we created:
(2r-4)+r=23
now solve for r:
2r-4+r=23
combine like terms
3r-4=23
add 4 to both sides
3r=27
divide both side by 3
r=9
plug r back into first equation and solve for y:
y+9=23
subtract 9
y=14
there are 9 red marbles and 14 yellow marbles!
