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:
x>-6
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression you need to solve for this is: 2x+15>3
For now pretend that the > is a = and solve as you normally would for x.
Subtract 15 from both sides
2x=-12
Divide by 2
x=-6
Put the > back in
x>-6
Answer:
f(-1) = 0
f(2) = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
f(-1) = 4(-1) + 4 = 0
f(2) = 4(2) + 8 = 16
The answer is 2.2 , you divide 99/45
