9=b

equation is 24=y+b and y=6+b

Answer 2

Required Equations are x + y = 24 & x - y = 6

Explanation:

let x be the no of yellow marbles that Charles has.

and y be the no of blue marbles that Charles has.

Total Marbles that Charles has = 24

⇒ x + y = 24 ..............(1)

Charles has 6 more yellow marbles than blue marbles.

x - y = 6 ......................(2)

Therefore, Required Equations are x + y = 24 & x - y = 6
