There are 9 marbles in the bag. We pick 2 without replacement and get a probability of 1/6.

Each draw of a marble has a probability associated with it. Multiplying these gives 1/6 so let us assume the probabilities are (1/3) and (1/2).

In order for the first draw to have a probability of 1/3 we need to draw a color that has (1/3)(9)=3 marbles. So let's say there are 3 red marbles. The P(a red marble is drawn) = 1/3.

Now that a marble has been drawn there are 8 marbles left. In order for the second draw to have a probability of 1/2 we must draw a color that has (1/2)(8) = 4 marbles. So let's say there are 4 blue marbles out of the 8.

Since there are 9 marbles to start and we have 3 red marbles and 4 blue marbles, the remaining 2 marbles must be a different color. Let us say they are green.

The problem is: There are 3 red marbles, 4 blue marbles and 2 green marbles in a jar. A marble is picked at random, it's color is noted and the marble is not replaced. A second marble is drawn at random and its color noted. What is the probability that the first marble is red and the second blue?

For this case we have the following system of equations:
 -4x + 5y = 8
 6x - y = 11
 The solution is the ordered pair where both functions intersect. 
 In this case, the point of intersection is:
 (x, y) = (5/2, 7/2)
 Answer:
 (x, y) = (5/2, 7/2)
