Parentheses first

9q-14+3q-3(8)=7
9q-14+3q-24=7

Combine like terms

9q + 3q - 14 - 24 = 7
12q -38=7

add 38 to both sides

12q - 38 + 38 = 7 + 38

12q = 45

divide both sides by 12

q = 45/12
q = 3.75

<h3>Answers:</h3>

The probability of not drawing a red marble is   7/10

The probability of drawing a red marble is  3/10

=======================================================

Explanation:

We have 3 red marbles out of 5+2+3 = 10 total. Therefore, the probability of selecting a red marble is 3/10.

The probability of not selecting a red marble is 7/10 because 3/10+7/10 = 1. Put another way, we have 7 marbles that aren't red (the 5 blue and 2 black ones) out of 10 total.
