Question

Jessica has some markers. She has 5 more black markers than blue markers. She has 4 times as many red markers as black markers. She has 8 blue markers. How many markers does Jessica have altogether? asap 60 points

Answer 1

Answer:

73 markers

Step-by-step explanation:

let b = blue markers

black markers = b+5

red markers = 4* black markers

                     = 4 * (b+5)

                      = 4b+20

The total markers is blue + black + red

                           b + b+5 + 4b+20 = 6b+25

                                                       

We know she has 8 blue markers

black markers = b+5 = 8+5 = 13

red markers = 4b +20 = 4*8 +20 = 32+20 = 52

The total markers =6b+25= 6(8) + 25 = 48+25 = 73
