X = B.......x - 17 = A

x + x - 17 = 87
2x - 17 = 87
2x = 87 + 17
2x = 104
x = 104/2
x = 52........so state B has 52 electoral votes

x - 17 = A
52 - 17 = A
35 = A.....so state A has 35 electoral votes

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The probability that the first marvel will be red and the second will be green is 7.14%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a bag contains 2 red marbles, 2 green marbles and 4 blue marbles, if we choose a marble and then other marble without putting the first one back in the bag, to determine what is the probability that the first marvel will be red and the second will be green, the following calculation must be performed:

2 + 2 + 4 = 8

2/8 x 2/7 = X

0.25 x 0.2857 = X

0.0714 = X

Therefore, the probability that the first marvel will be red and the second will be green is 7.14%.
