    I know someone else answered already, but I will answer in more detail.

    we can write a simple equation to find out the answer mathematically.

    8 (number of marbles left) = m (marbles before) - 5

    (8=m-5)

    add 5 to each side and you will get

    m = 13

    so, maya started with 13 marbles
