Question

Rachel and Sean had the same number of marbles.Rachel then had 3 times as many marbles as Sean.How many marbles did Rachel and Sean each have first? Answer pls tnx.

​

Answer 1

S=x, R=3x

Explanation:

So we don't know how many marbles they started with, so we can put 'x' as each of their amounts. (S=x, R=3x) This is because whatever Sean has, Rachel has 3 times that. Without any other numbers or information, that is all we can infer.

Answer 2

• I guess your first had should be have

Solution:-

• At now they both have same number of marbles let they be x and y

Before Rachel had 3times more marbles than Sean .

So it would be

• x marbles(Sean)
• 3x marbles(Rachel)
