Question

There are 24 marbles in a container. The number of blue marbles is 3 more than twice the number of pink marbles in the container. Find the number of pink marbles in the container.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

LET BLUE MARBLE BE. 2x + 3.

AND PINK MARBLE BE x.

ACCORDING TO QUESTION..

x+2x+3 = 24

3x + 3 = 24.

3x = 24 - 3.

3x = 21.

x = 21/3

x = 7..

NOW,

PINK MARBLE ARE 7.....

BLUE MARBLE = 2*7+3= 17...

17+7= 24(HENCE VERIFIED).......

LHS = RHS....
