Answer:

18 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Express the fraction of each type of marble as a function of the total number of marbles as shown;

Let;

total marbles=x

red marbles=3/(3+4)=3/7x

blue marbles=4/7 x

But x=42 marbles

The total number of marbles for each type can be expressed as;

total number of red marbles=fraction of red marbles×total number of marbles

where;

fraction of red marbles=3/7 x

total number of marbles=42

replacing;

total number of red marbles=(3/7)×42=18 marbles

total number of blue marbles=fraction of blue marbles×total number of marbles

where;

fraction of blue marbles=4/7 x

total number of marbles=42

replacing;

total number of blue marbles=(4/7)×42=24 marbles

Answer:

x=i√33−3,−i√33−3

hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

(x+3)2=−28−

5 Subtract 5 from −28.

(x+3)2=−33

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

x+3=±√−33

Simplify the right side of the equation.

x+3=±i√33

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

x=i√33−3,− i√33 −3
