Question

Ram has 16 marbles more than that shyam has, if they have 40 marbles together, form the equation to find the number of marbles that shyam has.

Answer 1

Let the number of marbles Shyam has be 'x'.

Therefore, from the given information, we can say that Ram has x + 16 marbles.

Now, they both have 40 marbles together.

Therefore, the equation is (x ) + ( x + 16) = 40

Therefore, 2x + 16 =40

=> 2x = 24
=> x = 12

Therefore, Shyam has 12 marbles and Ram has 12 + 16 = 28 marbles

Answer 2

Answer: 2x +16=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Shayam have x marbles

Therefore Ram has x+16 marbles.

They have 40 marbles together

Therefore,

x+x+16=40

2x+16=40

2x=40-16

2x=24

x=24/2

x=12

This way you can get the answer
