Answer: The equation would be 5x - 10 = 275

Step-by-step explanation: The correct equation to determine the number of marbles that Jaalan has is 5x - 10 = 275, where x represents the number of marbles.

To solve, first add 10 to each side:

5x = 285

Next, divide each side by 5:

X = 57

Therefore, Jaalan has 57 marbles.
