Question

A bag contains white matarles and red marables,126 in total.The number of whit marables is 6 more than 5 than 5 times the number of red marables.How many white marables are there

Answer 1

Answer:106

Explanation:

Let number of white marbles be w

Let number of red marbles be r

w+r = 126---------1

w = 6 +5r-----------2

Put eqn 2 in eqn 1

6+ 5r + r = 126

6 + 6r = 126

6r = 120

r = 20

w = 6 +5r =6+100

= 106
