this is what I did
45-5=40
40÷4=10
so there are 10 white marbles
but am not sure is just a question that am not sure

Answer:

There are 35 white marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

y- yellow marbles

4y + 5 = 45

Subtract 5 from both sides

4y = 40

Divide for from both sides

y = 10

Plug in 10 to get 40 yellow marbles then subtract by 5 to get 35 marbles

Thus there are only 10 yellow marbles
