2. N + (N+6) = 24, where N is the number of blue marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N represent the number of blue marbles and Y represent the number of yellow marbles, then:

24 = N + Y

But we know that there are 6 more yellow marbles than blue marbles, therefore:

Y = N + 6

So we have

24 = N + (N + 6)

which is the correct equation.
