Respuesta :

x=24-6
x=18
Since,the question said that Nirja has 6 marbles more than Tim,which aslo mean that Tim has 6 marbles less than Nirjia,Tim has 18 marbles which is obtained by 24-6.

Answer:

The equation that represents the situation is  x + 6 = 24

The value of x that makes the equation true is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim has x marbles,

Number of marble with Tim = x

The number of marbles Nirja has is 6 more than the number of marbles Tim has.

Number of marbles with Nirja = x + 6

Nirja has 24 marbles .

That is

          x + 6 = 24

The equation that represents the situation is  x + 6 = 24

On solving

                     x = 24 - 6 = 18

The value of x that makes the equation true is 18
