You've decided to give your best friend a
bag of marbles for his birthday.
Since you know that your friend likes
green marbles better than red ones, the
bag has twice as many green marbles as
red.
The label on the bag says it contains a
total of 84 marbles.
How many green marbles are in the bag?

What is number?

" Number is defined as the count of any given quantity as per condition."

According to the question,

Given,

Total number of marbles [tex]= 84[/tex]

[tex]'x'[/tex] represents the number of red marbles

As per given condition,

[tex]'2x'[/tex] represents the number of green marbles

Required equation we have,

[tex]x + 2x = 84\\\\\implies 3x =84\\\\\implies x = \frac{84}{3} \\\\\implies x = 28[/tex]

Substitute the value of [tex]'x'[/tex] to get number of green marbles ,

Number of green marbles [tex]2x = 2\times 28[/tex]

                                                 [tex]= 56[/tex]

Hence, number of green marbles in the bag is equals to [tex]56.[/tex]
