Marbles in a bag: 3 green, 4 yellow, 5 blue, 8 pink.
Event A - get a green or yellow marble
Event B - get a pink marble
Events A and B are independent because we draw a marble from a bag with 20 marbles in both cases.

Probability of combined events is

I'm pretty sure it's commutative property of addition

Answer: x*a^2 or a^2*x</h3>
======================================
Work Shown:
a^(b+2) = a^b*a^2 ... break up the exponent
a^(b+2) = x*a^2 ... replace a^b with x
We don't know the value of 'a' nor the value of x, so we cannot evaluate further. This is the same as a^2*x because order of multiplication does not matter. For example, 2*3 = 6 and 3*2 = 6, so 2*3 = 3*2.
