Question

Wally has two more marbles than Ashan and together they have 88 marbles. How many marbles does

Ashan have?

Answer 1

Let the number of marbles of walley be x

Ashan will have two marbles less= x-2

(x-2)+x=88

2x-2=88

2x=88+2

2x=90

x=45.

ashan=45-2

43.

Ashan has 43 marbles.

Answer 2

88 divide 2 = 44 . Wally has two more so 44+2 = 48 . 88-48= 40 marbles
