Answer:
28 non-blue marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial probability of choosing a blue marble = 4/12
Let the number of non-blue marbles to be added be x.

(cross multiply)

8m^2+18m+9=0
Multiply 2m by 4m to get 8m^2. Multiply 2m by 3 to get 6m. Multiply 3 by 4m to get 12m. Add the 6m and 12m to make 18m. Multiply 3 by 3 to get the integer 9. Set it all equal to 0.
The good apples are 14/15 of the total apples. So multiply the total apples by the weight of good ones to find the solution.
