use guess and check, the answer is: alan:69 bonnie: 21 and calvin: 63

okay, i know i can't help you with your problem, but I REALLLLLY need help with mine, could you help? Linear systems, the equations are 4x+3=y and x=y-2 I need the solution, and I'm stuck, PLEASE help me!

OH, i'm sorry, i switched them around; it is calvin that gets 69, and alan that gets 63 but, here's how i did it i started with a few guesses, but when i guessed alan having 63, i said okay, he has 3 times as much as bonnie, so i need to divide 69 by 3 and got 21, then it says that calvin gets 6 more than alan so, he has to have 69. to check, you add all of them together and get the total number of marbles of 153, so these numbers are correct. I hope that explained it for you :-)

no problem, you don't happen to know the answer to my problem though, do you? it's labled 7th grade-math by Elissa on the current questions list

Ms. Sue, you've been helping a lot of people, could you help me with my question?

or, you could do it simpilar and just do 76-19, and you get 57, x=57

thanks so much
