A bag contains 40 red and green marbles. The number of green marbles, g, is 9 times the number of red mapples, . How many red marbles are in the bag? O 4 O 6 O 34 O 36

4

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to try out all the numbers.

lets start with 4

if there where 4 red marbles then there would be 9 times as many marbles

so 4 x 9 = 36

Now we add and see if the sum is 40

36 + 4 = 40

We got it on the first try

You can use the same method on more problems like these.

Hope this helps :)
