Answer:

16 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

8 red

9 yellow

7 green

total = 8 + 9 + 7

p(red) = 8/24 = 1/3

Add r number of red marbles to the total.

8 + r red

9 yellow

7 green

total = 8 + r + 9 + 7 = r + 24

p(red) = (8 + r)/(r + 24) = 3/5

Cross multiply.

40 + 5r = 72 + 3r

2r = 32

r = 16

Answer: 16 red marbles

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

bag red: 8 + x

yellow:9

green 7/24

3/5 = 8+ x/24+ x

5(8 + x) = 3 (24 + x)

40 + 5x

-40 -3x = 72 + 3x

-40 -3x    -40 - 30

2x/2 = 32/2  so,x = 16

4. The following set of points belong to a specific function: {(-3,0)(-2,4), (-1,0 ), (0,-6),(1,-8), (2,0),(3,24)} Based on the
notsponge [240]

The type of function that these sets of points are known to produce is the cubic function.

<h3>What is a cubic function?</h3>

This is a function that is known to be a polynomial of degree 3. This type of polynomial is one that the coefficients are known to be complex numbers.

This is a cubic function given that the x axis is known to go through these points (-3,0), (-1,0), (2,0).

b. Given the sets of pints that we have, we have the equation

f(x) = a(x+3)(x+1)(x-2)

Such that

f = -2 =

4 = a x 1 x -1 x -4

4 = 4a

a = 1
