Let red marbles = X.
The probability is 1 out of 5, written as 1/5
1/5 in terms of red marbles is equal to the number of red marbles divided by 5x, where 5x is the total number of marbles.
1/5 = x/5x
Now you have 5x total marbles, x red and 4x blue.
Add 5 more red and the new probability is:
(x+5)/(5x+5) = 1/3
Simplify:
3x+15 = 5x+5
Now solve for x:
Subtract 3x from both sides:
15 = 2x +5
Subtract 5 from each side:
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10/2
X = 5
There were originally 5 red marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is mentioned above.
Answer:
-8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 3y = - 9
Let's make y the subject of the formula.
y = - 9/3 - 8x/3
Rearrange
y = - 8x/3 - 3
The slope is the coefficient of x which is - 8/3
