Select one:
a. x+y=15
y=6x+3
b. x+y=15
y=6x-3
c. x-y=15
y=6x+3
d. 6x+y=15
y=6x=3

i don't need an answer that won't help i need to learn how to work it

anonymous · Answer

well first yo have to find out what x and y are so what do you need to do

If you take the part, three more than six times the number, and break it down you can find the answer easier. 3 more is addition. Six times the number is 6*x. So you end up with adding 3 to 6x or 3+6x. Then you subtract that amount from the beginning amount because it says there are 15 marbles total and there are more red than white.
