A bag contains only red and blue marbles. Yasmine takes one marble at random from the bag. The probability that she takes a red

marble is 1 in 5. Yasmine returns the marble to the bag and adds five more red marbles to the bag. The probability that she takes one red marble at random is now 1 in 3. How many red marbles were originally in the bag?

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.

Find the distance between the two points.<br> (-6, -7) and (154, - 43)
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

(160, 36)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is always positive because, well, you aren't -50 meters away from your house or something. You are just 50 meters away from your house. And 160 is the distance between -6 and 154, because there is one minus and one plus, you add them, because that is how far they are apart, and then-43 and -7 were easy just subtract them.

Which relation is a function?
Ksivusya [100]
B. To see if it’s a function, it has to pass the vertical line test. That means draw a vertical line (going up and down) through any point on the graph and it can only go through one point. If it goes through more than 1, it’s not a function. Like in graph A, if you draw a vertical line at x=-2, it will go through two points, same at x=2. For graph b, no matter where you move a vertical line, it only passes through one point at a time, so it passes the vertical line test.
