Adam and Bryan have 11 marbles.
Adam has 7 less marbles than Bryan.
- Number of marbles that Adam has = _____

- 1 u = _____
Choose the person who has less marbles to be 1 u.
Adam has 7 less marbles than Bryan.
So, Adam has less marbles.
(a)
Number of marbles that Adam has = 1 u
(b)
Number of marbles that Bryan has = 1 u + 7
(c)
Total number of marbles
= 1 u + 1 u + 7
= 2 u + 7
(d)
Total number of marbles = 11
2 u + 7 = 11
2 u = 11 - 7 = 4
1 u = 4 ÷ 2 = 2
Answer(s): (a) 1 u; (b) 1 u + 7; (c) 2 u + 7; (d) 2
