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.
168/56 or 3. 21/8 times 8/7 equals 168 over 56. Also can be 3
Answer:
x + 14.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply combine like terms. Constants go with each other and <em>x</em> terms go with each other.
6.2 + 8.5 = 14.7
x = x
x + 14.7
Speed and velocity is the answer
do parentheses first which gives you 42-4+111 then aubtract to get 38+111 which equals 149
