Alexandra Armstrong · Answer 1

225-35=194/2 because there is two colors red and blue you divide it and then answer is 97 and then you add 35+97=132 so there are 132 blue marbles

Mitchell Trevino · Answer 2

Let x represent the number of red marbles, then blue marbles are represented by x + 31

red + blue = 225

x + x + 31 = 225

2x + 31 = 225

2x = 194

x = 97

Blue: x + 31 = 97 + 31 = 128

Answer: 128 blue marbles
