First youll want to add 18 and 29. which gives you 43. then you’ll want to find out how much is 29 people percentage wise. so you’ll do 29/43 which gives you 67.44% if it’s answer choices. you round it to the most whole number if they don’t use decimals.
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:
(0,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
B. ) Unless you're missing some data.
1/10x + 6 = 2/5x
6 = 2/5x - 1/10x
6 = 4/10x - 1/10x
6 = 3/10x
6 / (3/10) = x
6 * 10/3 = x
60/3 = x
20 = x <=== the gas tank can hold 20 gallons
