At first there are three marbles for Sam to pick from. the possibility of drawing a colored marble is 2/3. if Sam picks one of the colored marbles, the possibility of therefore (if he'd drawn the colored marble) drawing the second colored marble is 1/2. for the possibility of those happening consequently, we have to multiply the possibilities. 2/3 * 1/2 is 2/6 is 1/3. which means Sam wins in 33.333...% cases. Julie has a better chance of winning.
adding a white marble would change the possibilities to 1/2 and 1/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 16.7% cases, which is even less fair.
adding a colored marble would change the possibilities to 3/4 and 2/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 3/4 * 2/3 = 6/12 = 50% cases, which finally makes the game fair.

Step-by-step explanation: Math jokes are trash
Given the equation - x² + 5x = 3, which can be rewritten as:
- x² + 5x - 3 = 0
where a = -1, b = 5 and c = -3.
Quadratic formula:
![\frac{-b\text{ }\pm\text{ }\sqrt[]{b^2\text{ - 4ac}}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Ctext%7B%20%7D%5Cpm%5Ctext%7B%20%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2%5Ctext%7B%20-%204ac%7D%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
Now, we just replace the values of a, b and c on the equation above.
![\frac{-5\text{ }\pm\text{ }\sqrt[]{5^2\text{ - 4(-1)(3)}}}{2(-1)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B-5%5Ctext%7B%20%7D%5Cpm%5Ctext%7B%20%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B5%5E2%5Ctext%7B%20-%204%28-1%29%283%29%7D%7D%7D%7B2%28-1%29%7D)
=
![\frac{5}{2}\text{ }\pm\text{ }\frac{\sqrt[]{13}}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D%5Ctext%7B%20%7D%5Cpm%5Ctext%7B%20%7D%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B13%7D%7D%7B2%7D)
Answer:
(½x+½y)²=6
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + y^2 = 14, xy=5
(A+B)^2=A^2 +2AB+B^2... (*)
(1/2x+1/2y)^2 =(*)
(1/2x)^2 +2(1/2x)(1/2y)+(1/2y)^2 =
1/4x^2 +1/2xy+1/4y^2=
1/4(x^2 +y^2) +1/2(xy)=
1/4*14+1/2*5=
14/4+5/2=
14/4+10/4=
24/4=6
let me know if I'm wrong.
