Answer=24 blue marbles and 3 red marbles

r=red marbles
b=blue marbles
b=3(r+5)

27=b+r
substitue b for '3(r+5)'
27=3(r+5)+r
27=3r+15+r
27=4r+15
subtract 15 from both sides
12=4r
divide both sides by 4
3=r

There are 3 red marbles

27=b+r
27=b+3
subtract 3 from both sides
24=b

There are 24 blue marbles

p is a polynomial of degree 5. p has roots of multiplicity 2 at t=4 and t=0, a root of multiplicity 1 at t=-4, and p(1)=2025. Fi
DENIUS [597]
P(x) = (x^2)(x - 4)^2(x + 4) + some constant(b)
2025 = (1^2)(1 - 4)^2(1 + 4) + b
2025 = 45 + b
b = 1980

Complete Equation:

p(x) = (x^2)(x - 4)^2(x +4) + 1980

or expanded form

p(x) = x^5 - 4x^4 - 16x^3 + 64x^2 + 1980
