A bag contains green marbles and blue marbles,68 total .The number of green marbles is 2 less than 4 times the number of blue marbles. How many green marbles are there?

There are 54 green marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Make two equations and you are going to solve them like systems of equations. Have x=green marbles and y=blue marbles.

x + y = 68

x = 4y - 2

Since we are finding the green marbles, we need to solve for x.

Rewrite the second equation: (x + 2)/4 = y

Solve the systems with the rewritten equation.

x + (x + 2)/4 = 68

x/1 + (x+2)/4 = 68

4x/4 + (x+2)/4 = 68

(4x + x +2)/4 = 68

(5x + 2)/4 = 68/1

Cross multiply

5x + 2 = 68(4)

5x + 2 = 272

5x = 270

x = 54

You can find the blue marbles just to check your work.

(4y - 2) + y = 68

5y - 2 = 68

5y = 70

y = 14

54 (green marbles) + 14 (blue marbles) = 68

d 192

step-by-step explanation:

we find our area to find area we multiply thoses numbers to get our answer so our area is 192

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
