Answer 2

Answer:

Aaron = 25

Ben = 50

Charles = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Aaron have x marbels.

Since Ben recieved twice as marbles as Aaron, Ben has 2x marbles.

Charles recieved 10 marbles more than Aaron, thus Charles has (x + 10) marbles.

We know, that they all together share 110 marbles,

which means $x+2x+(x+10)=110$

Solving,

$4x+10=110$

$4x=110-10=100$

$x=\frac{100}{4}$

$x=25$

Thus, Aaoron recieves 25 (i.e x) marbles, Ben recieves 50 (i.e 2x) marbles and Charles recieved 35 (i.e x + 10) marbles.
