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:
y = 3x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the given question, the expression to represent all the books in Ms. Canton's bookcase is shown below:-
y indicates the total amount of books
x indicates the equal cost of books on 3 bookshelves
while
+4 indicates 4 other books on the fourth bookshelf
So, the expression will be
y = 3x + 4
Therefore the correct answer is y = 3x + 4
move variable to the left side and change its sign
-3x+8=6y
Move constant to the right side and change its sign
-3x=6y-8
Divide both sides of the equation by -3
x=-2y+8/3

<span>Round 287.9412 to the nearest tenth.
Lets solve this!
To round to the nearest tenth, you need to know the tenth place--------
In the number, 287.9412, nine is in the tenth place. You need also make sure whether the number next to 9 is greater than 5 or not.
</span><span>287.9412 =287.941=287.94=287.9=288=290
Thus, your answer is 290.
