We can set up an equation to solve this problem. I am setting the number of marbles in a red jar to R.
R + R + R - 16 = 41
We solve this by adding 16 to both sides and combining all of the R terms.. This gives us:
3R = 57
We can finish this problem by dividing both sides by 3.
R = 19. So, there are 19 marbles in a red jar.
We can easily figure out how many marbles are in a blue jar by subtracting the total amount of marbles in 2 red jars from the total amount of marbles. I am setting the amount of marbles in a blue jar to B.
41 - 19*2 = B
B = 3
So, there are 3 marbles in a blue jar and 19 marbles in a red jar.

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 4y2-12y+9
The first term is, 4y2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -12y its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 9 = 36
Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .
-36 + -1 = -37
-18 + -2 = -20
-12 + -3 = -15
-9 + -4 = -13
-6 + -6 = -12 That's it
Multiply that by the height since the base is already length X width thats all you need to do, and you get 1562.4!
