Stanley Sellers · Answer 1

The equation that represents the situation is x + 6 = 24

The value of x that makes the equation true is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim has x marbles,

Number of marble with Tim = x

The number of marbles Nirja has is 6 more than the number of marbles Tim has.

Number of marbles with Nirja = x + 6

Nirja has 24 marbles.

That is

x + 6 = 24

The equation that represents the situation is x + 6 = 24

On solving

x = 24 - 6 = 18

The value of x that makes the equation true is 18

Bennett Lozano · Answer 2

X=24-6

x=18

Since, the question said that Nirja has 6 marbles more than Tim, which aslo mean that Tim has 6 marbles less than Nirjia, Tim has 18 marbles which is obtained by 24-6.
