    45 marbles : number of marbles that Dalia bought in total

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Because Dalia's brother has 7 marbles and lost 2, then, he received 9 marbles in total.

    Dalia distributed the marbles between four of her friends and her brother, that is, between 5 people.

    Dalia gave each one the same amount of marbles as her brother, that is, 9 marbles

    x=number of marbles that Dalia gave her brother jake = 7+2 = 9

    y = number of people to whom Dalia gave marbles = 4+1=5

    z = total number of marbles that Dalia bought = 9*5=45

    Total number of marbles that Dalia bought = 45 marbles
