Answer:

Kimiya has 48 marbles, Ramneet has 12 marbles

Explanation:

kimiya has 4x marbles ramneet has x marbles then 4x - 18 = x + 18 because if you give 18 marbles from kimiya to ramneet then you subtract 18 from kimiya and add 18 to ramneet by solving the equation you will get x as 12.So kimiya has 48 marbles, ramneet has 12 marbles.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.
