Question

I have a certain number of marbles to divide equally among 24 boys. When total number of marbles's are increased by 9 and number of boys are increased by 3 then each boy receives 4 marbles less when compared to earlier. How many marbles did I had initially?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

let X be the number of marbles therefore as X number of marbles are to be divided by 24 we get eqn 1 as

X/24

according to given information second eqn will be

X+9/24+3=X+9/27 this will be eqn 2

by subtracting eqn 1 and 2 we get

X/24-X+9/27=4
