Answer:

The answer is that the last marble is red.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is that the last marble is red.

We can justify this answer by denial:

For the last marble to be blue, at some stage in the extraction of marbles there must have been n blue marbles and one last red marble.

To remove that red marble, it has to be extracted in one of the following rounds.

If the last red marble is removed, the other marble extracted will be a blue one. Since the marbles extracted are of different color, according to the rules, a red marble must be incorporated into the bag.

So the amount of red marbles in the bag cannot decrease to less than one.

For this reason the last marble is red.

olasank [31]
If 40% of students prefer keyboarding, 40/100*40=16 students like it best. If the remaining students prefer English, then 40-16=24 students like English best. Since 24 is more than 16, most students prefer English.

Which property is shown? 4/5+ -<br> 4/5=0
TEA [102]
This looks like the additive inverse property, because when you add something to its negative counterpart (or its additive inverse), you get 0 as a sum.

Another example would be 2+ (-2) = 0. -2 is the additive inverse for 2.
