Question

A bag contains purple marbles and white marbles, 82 in total. The number of purple

marbles is 2 more than 4 times the number of white marbles. How many purple
marbles are there?

Answer 1

there are 66 purple marbles.

Answer 2

16 = w

p= 66

Step-by-step explanation:

82= 2+(4w+w)

80=5w

16=w

therefore

p=4w+2

p= (4*16)+2

p=64+2

purple is 66

white is 16
