Authur has 3 times as many marbles as Vladimir.if Authur gives Vladimir 6 marbles,Authur will be left with 4 more marbles than Vladimir .what is the total number of marbles that Authur and Vladimir have?
-------------------
Start:: A = 3V
After exchange: A-6 - (V+6) = (V+6)+4
----------------------
A-6 = 2(V+6)+4
A-6 = 2V +16
A - 2V = 22
-----
Since A = 3V,
3V-2V = 22
V = 22 marbles
----
A = 3V = 66 marbles
---
Ans: A + V = 88 marbles
