Maya says that she has 9 marbles more than 5 times the marble Roopa has. Maya has 49 marbles. How many marbles Roopa has

 

total marbles maya has = 49 marbles

maya says that she has 9 marbles more than 5 times the marble roopa has = (means) that when the amount of marbles rupa has is increased  5 times and added with 9 marbles is equal to the marbles maya has =>  5x +9 = 49

total marbles rupa has = ?

5x +9 = 49

5x = 49-9

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8

therefore total marbles roopa has =8 marbles
