Let's have two numbers x (larger) and y (smaller). from the info above...
x + y = 3
5x + 4y = 29
so that means y=3 - x. we can sub this in
5x + 4(3-x) = 29
5x + 12 - 4x = 29
x = 17
then y=3-x=3-17=-14
so it's 17 and -14
Answer:
<h3>2</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
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
Can you put it in any form instead of a point so I can correctly plot it in
