Larry and Steve have 171 marbles in total. The number of marbles Larry has is 39 fewer than [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] of the number of marbles Steve has. How many marbles does Steve have?

Question

supervishnu04 · Answer

Steve = x marbles, Larry = 3x/7 – 39 marbles 
 Total marbles = 171 = steves + lary’s 
 X + 3x/7 – 39 = 171 
 X + 3x/7 = 171 + 39 
 10x/7 = 210 
 10x = 210 * 7 
 10x = 1470 
 X = 147 
 Larry = 3/7(147) – 39 
 
Larry = 63 – 39 = 24 
 Steve = 147 
 Total marbles = 147 + 24 = 171
