#1:
sub first from second equations
-
-
Original Number: 
#5:
??",... twice more marbles than vic ..."??
This is not the best wording and maybe not what was meant.
j, v, t
Joey, Vic, Tito
Literal Translation of the description:
Simplify and work with that system. Your description does not work!
If you were to change to description saying, "Joey gathered twice the marbles that Vic gathered.", then there is a solution that will work.
#4:
Let number of pages in the book be B.
The description will give the equation  , since "still yet to be read", is  . Solve for B.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
When you submit many problems in one post, you will learn NOTHING.
When you submit separate problems in separate posts, there is a hope that you will learn SOMETHING.
THEREFORE, the rules of this forum PROHIBIT submitting more than one problem in one post.
Again: It is PROHIBITED by the rules of this forum.
So, separate your problems and submit them in separate posts.
