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:
number 21: 5 ten thousands, 7 hundreds, <em><u>7</u></em><em><u> </u></em>tens and 7 ones
Step-by-step explanation:
7 tens = 70
7 ones = 7
which equals 77, if the number is 50,777, you can see the last two digits in the tens and ones place are 7 and 7.

Answer:
f your number is x, then the difference between that number and 8 would be x-8. Twice that is 2(x-8)
Three times the sum of the number and 3 would be 3(x+3). So, you get the equation:
2(x-8)=3(x+3)
2x-16=3x+9
x=-25
Answer:
Monica's age = 34 years
Her daughter's age = 10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Monica's age = x
Let her daughter'sage = y
x + y = 44 -------> equ 1
After 2 years:
Monica's age = x + 2
Her daughter's age = y + 2
x + 2 = 3 * (y+2)
x + 2 = 3y + 6
x = 3y + 6 -2
x = 3y + 4
Put x value in equ 1:
3y + 4 + y = 44
4y = 44 - 4
4y = 40
y = 40/4
y = 10
x = 44 -10
x = 34
