What is number?

" Number is defined as the count of any given quantity as per condition."

According to the question,

Given,

Total number of marbles [tex]= 84[/tex]

[tex]'x'[/tex] represents the number of red marbles

As per given condition,

[tex]'2x'[/tex] represents the number of green marbles

Required equation we have,

[tex]x + 2x = 84\\\\\implies 3x =84\\\\\implies x = \frac{84}{3} \\\\\implies x = 28[/tex]

Substitute the value of [tex]'x'[/tex] to get number of green marbles ,

Number of green marbles [tex]2x = 2\times 28[/tex]

                                                 [tex]= 56[/tex]

Hence, number of green marbles in the bag is equals to [tex]56.[/tex]
