Mark has 5 times as many collectibles as maria has. subtracting 6 from the number of collectibles mark has and then dividing by 2 gives the number of collectibles jim has. if jim has 112 collectibles, how many collectibles does maria have?

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of collectibles with Maria = x

The number of collectibles with Mark = 5x

The number of collectibles with Jim =(5x - 6) /2

(5x - 6) /2 = 112

5x - 6 = 112 * 2

5x - 6 = 224

5x = 224 + 6

5x = 230

x = 230/5

x = 46

The number of collectibles with Maria =  46
