Question

1. Brian has three time

many marbles as Natasha.
Together they have 88
marbles. How many
marbles does each one
have?

Answer 1

1. Translate words into equation :
Brian= b
Natasha =n
N+3n=88 (because brian has 3x more than natasha u can rewrite b as 3n)
2. Solve : 4n=88 (divide by 4)
N=22 so natasha has 22 marbles and since b=3n, brian has 66 marbles
