The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.
I think what you meant was
(2x - 5)² = 11 -- (1)
Square root both sides of (1), i.e.
√(2x - 5)² = ± √11 -- (2)
From (2), we have
2x - 5 = ± √11 -- (3)
By adding 5 to both sides in (3), we have
2x = 5 ± √11 -- (4)
Divide both sides of (4) by 2, and we obtain
x = (5 ± √11)/2 -- (5)
From (5), the solution set of (1) is
x = (5 + √11)/2, (5 - √11)/2 ...Ans.

Determine the equilibrium solutions
We have:


To solve this, we first equate
and
to 0.
So, we have:


Factor out R in 

Split
or 
or 
Factor out W in 

Split
or 
Solve for R


Make R the subject


When
, we have:




Collect like terms

Solve for W




When
, we have:



Collect like terms

Solve for R


So, we have:

When
, we have:





So, we have:

Hence, the points of equilibrium are:
and 
50% because when you take out the first marble witch is probably blue since there are more blue you would have 2 blue and 2 green so the chance would be 50%
