Wally has two more marbles than Ashan and together they have 88 marbles. How many marbles does
Ashan have?


Sagot :

Assume that

Ashan has x marbles.

Wally has two more marbles than Ashan

So, Wally has x+2 marbles.

Ashan and Wally have 88 marbles.

So,

x + (x + 2) = 88

2x + 2      = 88

2x             = 86

x               = 43

Ashan has 43 marbles.
