Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Aaron = 25

Ben=  50

Charles= 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of marbles.

Aaron = x

Ben = 2x

Charles = x+10

Total marbles is 110 marbles.

Now, lets form a equation:

x+(2x)+(x+10)= 110

4x+10=110

4x=110-10

4x=100

x=100/4

x= 25

You are not done yet.

you got the value of x which is 25.

Remember

Ben= 2x

Aaron= x

Charles = x+10

We just got the value of x which means we got the number of marbles Aaron took.

Aaron = 25

Now just solve the others.

Ben= 2(25) =50

Charles= 25+10=35
