Question

Charles has 24 marbles. He has 6 more yellow marbles than blue marbles.

Which equation represents this situation?​

Answer 1

y = x + (6+x)

Explanation:

Y represents the total number of marbles.

X represents number of blue marbles.

6+X represents number of yellow marbles.

To Solve:

24 = 2x + 6

Subtract 6 from both sides: 18 = 2x

Divide boths sides by 2: 9 = x

Now fill in the values: Blue Marbles = 9, Yellow marbles = 15
