Answer:

8 red marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 3:2, blue to red. If there's 12 blue marbles and the first part of the ratio's 3, then:

12/3=4

Then you take the 4 and multiply it by 2, the second half of the ration to get 8.

And so, the answer's 8. If you divide 12:8 by 4 each you get your original ratio of 3:2, so that's your way to check.

The answer is: 8 red marbles!

This is because the equation can be written out like this
Blue to red - 3:2
Now it is, blue to red - 12:x

We have to think, what is the difference from the first equation to the second. We know the number 3 times 4 = 12, so we would do the same for the red, 2 times 4=8

If this helped, give me brainliest :)

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

y =112

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find y

The attached triangle is isosceles; so:

x - 5=34

Also, we have:

y + x - 5 + 34=180 --- angles in a triangle

Substitute: x - 5=34

y + 34 + 34=180

Collect like terms

y =- 34 - 34+180

y =112

Function g is defined below.
Elina [12.6K]
Rule: if you have graph of function y=f(x) and a>0, then:
1. y=f(x-a) is translation a units right;
2. y=f(x+a) is translation a units left;
3. y=f(x)-a is translation a units down;
4. y=f(x)+a is translation a units up;

Since g(x)=f(x+2)-5, then firstly you have to translate the graph of function y=f(x) two units left and secondly 5 units down.
