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.

Pythagoras theorem: leg 1 squared + leg 2 squared = hypotenuse squared
In the diagram, the triangle has angles 90 and 45. So the other angle in the triangle must be 45 degrees as well. (180 - 90 -45 = 45)
This means it is an isosceles triangle (since two angles are the same), so the two legs have the same length.
So we can say that length of leg1 = x, and the length of leg2 also equals x
Now let's use pythagoras' theorem:
leg1 = x
leg2 = x
hypotenuse = 16
x^2 + x^2 = 16^2
2x^2 = 16^2
2x^2 = 256
x^2 = 128
x = √(128)
x = 8√2
Let us cross multiply.
5/9=10/x
9 x 10= 5x
90=5x
90 <u />÷ 5= 5x <span>÷ 5
18=x
So, the answer is 18. I hope this helped you, since I just learned cross multiplication last week.</span>
