Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of blue marbles be x

The number of green marbles = 3x - 2

Total marbles= 18

x + 3x -2 = 18

4x - 2 = 18

4x = 18+2

4x = 20

x =20/4

x =5

The number of blue marbles = 5

The number of green marbles = 3*5 - 2 = 15 -2 = 13

Solve for x. 8x^2-3=2

Mazyrski [523]

$(2^3x^2 - 3) - 2 = 0 \\ \\ Factoring: \ 8x^2-5 \\ \\ 8x^2 - 5 = 0 \\ \\ Add \ 5 \ to \ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation : \\ \\ 
 8x^2 = 5 \\ \\ Divide \ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation \ by \ 8: \\ \\ 
 x^2 = \frac{5}{8} = 0.625 \\ \\ \boxed{ x =\pm \sqrt 5/8}$
