Abag contains white marbles and yellow marbles, 54 in total. the number of white marbles is 6 less than 3 times the number of yellow marbles. how many white marbles are there?

The number of white marbles 'x' is 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A bag contains white marbles and yellow marbles, 54 in total.

The number of white marbles is 6 less than 3 times the number of    yellow marbles.

To Find : Number of White marbles

Solution :

Let number of white marbles be x

Let number of yellow marbles be y

Since we are given that there are 54 marbles in total.

⇒ x + y = 54 ---(A)

We are also given that the number of white marbles is 6 less than 3 times the number of yellow marbles.

⇒ x = 3y - 6  ---(B)

Solving A and B using substitution method

Put value of x from (B) in (A)

⇒3y - 6 + y = 54

⇒4y - 6 = 54

⇒4y = 54+6

⇒4y = 60

⇒y = 60/4

⇒y = 15

Thus , number of yellow marbles 'y' is 15

To find number of white marbles put value of y in (B)

⇒ x = 3*(15) - 6  

⇒x = 45 - 6

⇒x = 39

Thus , The number of white marbles 'x' is 39

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 75°

step-by-step explanation:

∠esk is the supplement of ∠edk, so is 100°. ∠esd = 1/2·arc ed, so is 25°.

since ∠esk = ∠esd + ∠dsk

you have 100° = 25° + ∠dsk . .

fill in known values 75° = ∠dsk . . . . .

subtract 25°
