Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two marbles number be purple, P and red marbles be R.

P + R = 43…Eq..1

As per statement the number of purple marbles is 1 less than 3 times the number of red marbles

P = 3R - 1…Eq..2

Now substituting the value of P from Eq..2 to Eq…1

P + R = 43

3R - 1 + R = 43

3R + R = 43 + 1

4R = 44

R = 44/4

R = 11
