(a)  Let the number of Parmit's marble be n.

Then according to question, we have :

                                5n\ +\ 7\ =\ 37

or                                         5n\ =\ 37\ -\ 7

or                                         5n\ =\ 30

or                                           n\ =\ 6

 

(b) Let the age of Laxmi be x.

Then according to question, we have :

                                3x\ +\ 4\ =\ 49

or                                       3x\ =\ 49\ -\ 4\ =\ 45

or                                       x\ =\ 15

 

(c) Let the number of fruit trees planted be z.

Then according to question, we have :

                                 3z\ +\ 2\ =\ 77

or                                         3z\ =\ 77\ -\ 2\ =\ 75

or                                           z\ =\ 25
