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.
Answer: X + X= 2x or X squared.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A linear equation has the greatest x power at 1.
If you see an equation with only x (no x^2 or x^3 or stuff like that), you will know that it is linear.
So you have to simplify
(9 x 10 x 18) 2 + (5 x 10 x 18) (-7) + (5 x 9 x 18)
(-11) + (5 x 9 x 10)
5 x 9 x 10 x 18
1620 x 2 + 900 (-7) + 810(-11) + 450 x 5
x 5 x 9 x 10 x 18
The answer would be -6/5
I believe the answer should be 3 and 1/2 which is 3.5 because I did the factor 7/8 times 4 and I got 3 and 1/2 I’m not sure
