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

Answer:

Graphing inequalities on a numberline:

38 > x

The point is directly on 38, the circle is hallow which means greater than or less than NOT or equal too. The arrow is pointing downwards signifying that 38 is greater than x.

10 ≤ x

This circle is filled in which means greater than or equal too or less than or equal too, in this case the arrow is pointing upwards showing that X is greater than or equal to 10.

28 ≤ X

The point is on 28 and the circle is filled in which means which means greater than or equal too or less than or equal too, in this case it is showing that x is greater than o r equal to 28 because the arrow is going up the numberline (upwards).

16 > x

This circle is NOT filled in which is hallow meaning that it is greater than or less than (also depending on where the arrow is pointing towards too). The point is on 16 and is showing the arrow going down which means 16 is greater than x.
