Answer:
in this equation, x = -1

There are 9 marbles in the bag. We pick 2 without replacement and get a probability of 1/6.
Each draw of a marble has a probability associated with it. Multiplying these gives 1/6 so let us assume the probabilities are (1/3) and (1/2).
In order for the first draw to have a probability of 1/3 we need to draw a color that has (1/3)(9)=3 marbles. So let's say there are 3 red marbles. The P(a red marble is drawn) = 1/3.
Now that a marble has been drawn there are 8 marbles left. In order for the second draw to have a probability of 1/2 we must draw a color that has (1/2)(8) = 4 marbles. So let's say there are 4 blue marbles out of the 8.
Since there are 9 marbles to start and we have 3 red marbles and 4 blue marbles, the remaining 2 marbles must be a different color. Let us say they are green.
The problem is: There are 3 red marbles, 4 blue marbles and 2 green marbles in a jar. A marble is picked at random, it's color is noted and the marble is not replaced. A second marble is drawn at random and its color noted. What is the probability that the first marble is red and the second blue?
Ship fast equation for n packages:
2n+(1)x
where x the weight of the packages
Speedy delivery equation for the number of packages:
3n+(0.50)x
The same price happened when:
2n+(1)x = 3n+(0.50)x
x - 0.5x=3n - 2n
x = n/0.5
x = 2n
when the package weight is 2 pounds
