I bought 3 bags of marbles. My friend bought 1 bag and he also had 24 loose marbles. We discovered that we had exactly the same number of marbles. a) Make up an equation to show this information. (let x be the number of marbles in 1 bag) b) Solve the equation to determine how many marbles there are in each bag.
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
