A bag contains 3 blue, 4 red and 3 yellow marbles. How many blue marbles must be added to the bag for it to contain 75% blue marbles?

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 75% = 75/100 = 3/4, so 3/4 of the marbles must be blue. Let x be amount of blue marbles added. We can write an equation using this.

75% = 3/4 = (3 + x blue marbles)/(3 + 4 + 3 + x total marbles) = (3+x)/(10+x)

Multiplying by 4(10 + x) on both sides:

3(10 + x) = 4(3+x)

30 + 3x = 12 + 4x

18 = x

Therefore, we must add 18 blue marbles for 75% of the marbles to be blue.

I hope this helps! :)

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 21%.
