Tim has 26 marbles
this is because the number of marbles tim has is twice as many as luke has (which can be represented as 2L).
2L+L=39
3L=39
L=13
therefore 2L is 26, so tim has 26, and luke has 13

tim has 2 times as luke
t=2l
they have 29 goether
t+l=39
subsitute
2l+l=39
3l=39
divide by 3
l=13

subsitue
t=2l
t=2(13)
t=26


tim has 26 and luke has 13
I don't know how many marble Tim has but probably all of them since alll must die and then the marbles go to Time
