An opaque bag contains 5 green marbles 3 blue marbles and 2 red marbles. if a marble is drawn at random what are the odds of drawing a blue marble?

Odds are 3 to 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The odds are defined as the probability that the event will occur divided by the probability that the event will not occur.

Let's find:

Probability of blue marble = 3/10 [ 3 blue and 10 in total]

Probabilty of NOT blue marble = 7/10 [7 marbles are red and green (not blue) and 10 in total]

Hence,

Odds of drawing a blue marble =

The odds are 3 to 7

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
