Answer: Our required probability would be 0.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boxes = 2

Number of purple marbles in Box A = 30

Number of yellow marbles in Box A = 20

Number of purple marbles in Box B = 15

Number of yellow marbles in Box B = 35

So,  If Melanie randomly selects one of the boxes and then randomly selects one marble from that box.

Probability that the marble selected will be purple is given by

\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{50}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{15}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{20+15}{50})\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{35}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{35}{100}\\\\=0.35

Hence, our required probability would be 0.35.

<h2>For x=2</h2>

- 10(2) + y = 4

- 20 + y = 4

y = 24

<h2>For x=1</h2>

- 10( 1) + y = 4

- 10 + y = 4

y = 14

<h2>For x=0</h2>

- 10(0) + y = 4

0 + y = 4

y = 4

<h2>For x=-1</h2>

- 10( - 1) + y = 4

10 + y = 4

y =  - 6

<h2>For x=2</h2>

- 10( - 2) + y = 4

20 + y = 4

y =  - 16
