The answer is 8 marbles. 6*8=48. 48(ednas marbles) + 8(sam's marbles)=56.
Answer: Sam 25 marbles.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Sam and Edna have 56 marbles together and Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam.
We are to find the number of marbles that Sam has.
Let x and y represents the number of marbles that Sam and Edna has respectively.
Then, according to the given information, we have
[tex]x+y=56\\\\\Rightarrow y=56-x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]
and
[tex]y=x+6\\\\\Rightarrow 56-x=x+6\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=50\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{50}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=25.[/tex]
Thus, Sam has 25 marbles.
