Shibani has given some marbles to Murad and me. If the number of marbles of Murad is 2 less than 7/3 part of marbles of mine then calculate the possible number of marbles of Murad.

If Murad got 40 marbles, then let's find the number of marbles Shibani has given to me…


Let the no. of marbles of mine = x

According to the question,



Now, it is given that Murad got 40 marbles
